[Evolution-hackers] Camel.Folder: Can existing remote messages be modified?

[Jules Colding <colding omesc com>]

Hi,

Reading the wiki I noticed:

"Messages can only be appended to the mailbox, and cannot be altered
once they are created, without appending a new message and deleting the
old one."

Does this literally mean that it is impossible to modify an existing
Camel.MessageInfo if a corresponding remote message is changed?

A relevant use case is draft messages that are temporarily stored in an
incomplete state and subsequently changed before being committed to the
transport mechanism.

What prevents me from altering the content of a Camel.MessageInfo
instance (say, the subject) and "touch" the folder summary to make the
change be saved to disk?


Thanks,
