-TODO: Previously when adding an IMAP account, Evolution downloaded all (old) messages. With the API provided in e-d-s 3.4 (commit http://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution-data-server/commit/?id=3a8ed437a3547803f1453f73dbf22911b8ae0051 etc) you can write a client to just download probably newest 100 messages for the first time and then demand the older messages only when required. For a mobile client, a year old inbox's few hundred messages are of no use except to consume bandwidth and disk space. (Probably to be used in Tizen.)
