Well the libmutt uses are not localized to a couple of classes a lot of 
places expected libmutt types, I was trying to make it easier to replace 
the code piece by piece.
<imap code and balsa optimalization stuff>
With my aproach it is relatively easy to use your own imap but still use 
libmutt for local storage, look at the libmailbox/mailbox_* files, only 
the libmutt stuff is totaly correct but using something of youor own is 
doable, see _imap.c and _mbox.c.
