Re: [Evolution] Moving IMAP Messages

[Jeffrey Stedfast <fejj ximian com>]

It's not that the spec calls for getting all the headers, it's about the
way in which the camel abstraction works. In order to copy a message to
a folder, you must first open it... and to open an imap folder, you must
SELECT it. When you SELECT an imap folder, the imap code makes sure it's
in sync with the server folder so it has to fecth header summaries. If
any new messages are in the folder, we grab the message header for those
messages and cache them.

camel move api:

void camel_folder_move_messages_to (CamelFolder *source, GPtrArray
*uids, CameFolder *destination, CamelException *ex);
