[Evolution-hackers] imap cache proposal

[Jeffrey Stedfast <fejj ximian com>]

here I am using Mozilla Mail because Evolution won't start for me 
anymore due to some breakage in gtkhtml (relocation errors).

Anyways, the idea is that if we make it so that the location of the IMAP 
cache is part of the account config rather than being a path that the 
imap store creates itself during instantiation, we could more easily 
delete the cache when the user deletes his/her account (because the 
mailer would know where the cache dir was). This is something we can't 
even do currently, but obviously need to be able to do.

This would also mean that if the hostname of the mail server changes, 
the new imap camel-object would also just magically re-use the existing 
cache dir rather than starting a whole new one.

We'd probably want to use some sort of random string or something (this 
sems to be what mozilla does) rather than "user hostname:port" as the 
cache dir name too.
