Hi Ruthard,
thanks for your explanation!

Excerpts from Ruthard Baudach's message of Mon Apr 11 15:05:09 +0200 2011:

hmm, that feels like a rather basic ability of a MUA. Or am I mistaken? :/

yeah, obviously many people use mutt that way, running in a screen. But that
really ruins the whole offline reading thingy for me... ;P

k, I have to admit that I don't quite get yet why we need a distributed
architecture to properly flag our mails (ok, maybe solving that problem is just
a byproduct), but it sure sounds nice. Thunderbird, Claws, mutt et al make do
without tough, me thinks :|
I am just wondering if merging aforementioned branch into master wouldn't make
for a proper, fast and low-effort solution till the server-client refactoring
has been put together and been thorougly tested?

Or am I missing something?
Thanks for your help!
