First question to iron out is, supposing we have such a flag, who is
meant for?  The backend itself or client apps like Evolution?

I'm leaning toward the latter.  In fact, as I iterate on this idea, it
seems the backend probably knows best and should be _setting_ this flag
itself rather than being told.

But yes, it would be a boolean GObject property with change notification
signals for the local process, and hopefully also a D-Bus property with
change notification signals for client apps via GDBus.

Rough thinking here too.  I'll let it simmer.
