I am not sure if this assumption holds in the mail model. There, we also have 
aggregation modes which groups items under group headers like "Today" and "2 
weeks ago". There group headers are dynamic and have no corresponding Akonadi 
Item, they are built on the fly when the model is loaded.
These group headers obviously change, for example a mail thread is moved from 
"Today" to "Yesterday" when the date changes. If sorting by most recent in 
subtree is enabled, mail threads can even change the group when new mail 
arrives and is sorted into a mail thread.

So the current message list is quite flexible. No idea if that has anything to 
do with what you said, I just wanted to give more food for thought.

Regards,
Thomas
