If, as I assume is the case, locking is included in Camel, does this
mean that there's no safe way to write a command line interface? (Since
the interface couldn't use Camel outside of evolution-mail, and any
non-Camel solution would be non-lock-safe.)

If so, that's a bummer...  Is a fix for this anywhere on the schedule,
or is it just too large?  (I suppose a CORBA interface to evolution-mail
would get around the problem as well, but that's also a big job.)

Just curious--- I'm still not quite used to having lost access to my
mail over ssh since I switched from MH to Evo.
