[Kde-pim] Synchronizing local subscriptions with the IMAP serverside subscription state

[Christian Mollekopf]

Hey,

I reconsidered and just published a blog-post explaining my new proposal:
http://cmollekopf.wordpress.com/2014/05/21/a-new-folder-subscription-system/

I won't repeat myself here, so just a couple of notes how this could be 
implemented:
* A boolean "ENABLED" attribute
* A boolean "VISIBILITY" attribute
* A boolean "SYNC" attribute

If VISIBILITY and SYNC are not available that indicates, "I don't care follow 
what ENABLED says".

What I'd like to achieve is that we can filter directly in the SQL query. This 
will be crucial for performance with a large amount of folders.

So a resource could do "LIST (SYNC) ....." and would receive only the 
collections that need to be synchronized.

On the other hand an application can do "LIST (VISIBLE) ...." and only get the 
collections that should be visible.

(the LIST syntax is made up, you get the idea...)

If required the concept could be extended with an INDEX attribute, but for 
starters I suppose it would be enough to index everything that is "ENABLED".

Cheers,
Christian
