[Kolab-devel] [issue997] possibility to configure cachedimap and regular imap per email folder

[Richard Bos]

New submission from Richard Bos <radoeka at xs4all.nl>:

The possibility to configure cachedimap and regular imap per email      
folder, or seperate for the kolab groupware folders (always cached imap)      
and the email folders (cached or regular imap).      
      
MK: This is pure client feature though not easy to implement      
      
RB: No server change needed?  That's nice.  Something for tracker or      
bugs.kde.org?      
      
BR: A wish at Bugs at KDE, I think it already might be in there.      
And you can make a wish in our tracker to refer to the KDE issue number.      
     
RB: Can anyone confirm that this is administrated in kde's bugdb as bug      
number:  http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82684     
Or is that for a different purpose?     
     
BR: Can you also restate the intended use cases for the feature?      
As far as I can tell it would be on the case when you do not want to fill      
up the local cache, because you have many emails in there.   
For appointments or contacts that does not really help as the client would       
need to build a complete cache in memory anyway before you could use      
the information right away.      
In this case you could already only subscribe to the contact and email      
folders and use online imap for the emails.      
So to me: No real use case left.      
   
RB: subscribtion is different.  With subscribtion one does not get new  
emails and the like.  With regular imap one gets the new and deleted emails.  
It is indeed to prevent a cache being created on the local machine.  Why  
create a huge cache if the system is not used that often (or whatever  
reason ;)
