Well, this sucks.. But I guess it's nice for IMAP users. But does
people actually copy messages that much? I've never done so myself,
and I don't really see any big use for it. In my openion it is not
worth it to make everything else slow and complex in order to speed
up a seldomly used function.
Ahem, you're being ego-centric here. The fact that you don't use copy doesn't
actually constitute a representative sample of the imap community. I know I use
copy *a lot*, and I know many people who use client-side filtering for sorting
and spam-filtering. Copying must be as fast and cheap as possible.
Still I see no use for answered_flag etc in Mailboxes?
I'm guessing here that those flags were introduced with certain optimizations in
mind. The imap commands status and examine could access those fields in stead of
checking all messages in a mailbox. But you are right in so far as that they
don't seem to be actively used in the code.
