now enough on the ui, I have a little question about implementation details...
A problem i have that basically bans me from using kontact mobile is that 
having a big (but nowdays quite normal) mailbox of around 500000 messages, the 
thing tries to sync all of it. My laptop is barely able to manage that, but is 
completely out of the league of any mobile device.
so, this is more a qustion to Kevin, would it be technically possible (on 
Akonadi agents level i guess) to make it by default only fetch the last 20 or 
so messages of each folder? (eventually downloading older ones on demand)
or even downloading only unread messages by default.. it would fit more the 
workflow of a mobile device i think.
