It is primarly for people to 'visit' existing mail, e.g. pine mail,
and/or those that like to use a re-usable inbox with other mail clients
like pine or elm etc.  It works, but is a fair bit less efficient if you
just want to copy new mail to evolution's storage area.

Also, the 'filter new messages' stuff in that code has a few bugs ...
