cache_dir is the directory that will be used to cache the emails you
read in order to allow you to see them offline. Camel will look there
first before trying to get the messages from the servers. It also stores
there the list of headers in your mail folders.

Not at all.

As I said there is no dependency with gconf in tinymail, we use it in
the test cases because it's the technology used in gnome to store
settings but you don't have to use gconf to store your account preferences.
