[Evolution-hackers] idea for relocatable url's in mailer

[Not Zed <notzed ximian com>]

Not really fully formed, but it came into my head ...

- Url's internally in evolution (mail) merely reference an account, plus a folder.
- they do this via a unique id which gets assigned to an account when it is created.
- any access to camel is then remapped from that uid to another, physically based one
  - the camel url's should lose metadata info, like filter on inbox, and that should be done vi
    persistent meta-data on the store object, et
- the alternative would be to make camel url's work the same but then you'd need to have all the account info part of camel.
  - this alternative would have other advantages too, but its a lot of wor

The filter code, the mailer, would use these internal url's, so that they would automagically update when the account changes, without having to track and change them all the time.

Anyway i thought i'd mention it before i forgot it.
