Since Jos knows that the mails are store locally in maildir, I suppose 
there's a third options:
Fetch the remoteId of the mail (i.e. the mail's file path) using Akonadi 
and then fetch the actual mail directly from disk. OTOH, if Akonadi 
needs to be used anyway to fetch the remoteId, then it makes little 
sense not to use Akonadi to fetch the full message.
