Yes, Bernhard, that's correct.

There is no reliable ay to "update" a mail that's stored already.

Of course you still can "update" the information stored in this mail:
by having KMail store a fresh mail instead of the old one.

One reason for this is that KMail was not primarily designed as a
database application but as a MUA.  While we _can_ use it to handle
storing/retrieving KOLAB data there are a few drawbacks like this one.

IM(H)O these drawbacks are not so serious that they would prevent
KMail from being a useful tool for this job.

just my 2 pence  ;-)
