This means that MailFilterAgent cannot directly influence fetch of individual items, as it is not aware of it, until processItem() is called. The only solution in this case is to fetch as much as possible.

PreprocessorBase does not have constructor for setting subclass of private class, but that could be easily changed. I'll look into it.

Hmm, I didn't realize that we cannot subclass PreprocessorBasePrivate outside kdepimlibs. The only other option that I could think of is to have virtual ItemFetchScope fetchScopeForCollection( qint64 collection ) method in PreprocessorBase that we call every time before fetching the item in PreprocessorBase. Default implementation would behave like PreprocessorBase::fetchScope(), but MailFilter could reimplement it to return different fetch scope for each collection/resource.
