Just to follow up on this, in the interest of being more transparent to
the user community, today I posted to the evolution-hackers list my long
term plans for Camel.  Camel is our mail storage and networking library.
It's where the disease lies.

It's a bit technical, but the gist is that it's a significant course
correction.  In a way, it's a response to a design document that's been
sitting in our source tree for nearly a decade:

To be clear, we're still focused on the current bug list.  This is all
just strategery for Evolution 3 (and not necessarily "point-oh").
