It is entirely up to the e-d-s backend to take care of caching and  
whether the cache may be synchronized with the remote data store. The  
utility methods for reading and writing to the cache is in e-d-s but  
the hard part is doing the sync logic. Most backends, as far as I  
know, do not implement any synchronization of modified offline cache  
data with the backend data store.

Maybe, it depends on time, resources and whether e-b keeps living as a  
separate component outside Evolution or is merged. Not much suggest  
that is ever going to happen whether or not libmapi is merged.


Best regards,
