[Kde-pim] Q about CachedImap code

[Thomas McGuire]

Hi,

I'm afraid I can't be of much help here, that goes deeper than I normally look 
in the dIMAP code.

No idea about the assumption.

No idea either, maybe it is just code to deal with legacy mails.

Again, no idea :(
Could well be that the code does not deal with a parent that comes in later.
