* providers/imap/camel-imap-store.c (refresh_folder_info): removed.
(imap_store_refresh_folders): Copy the folders first, then refresh
them, outside of the cache_lock, which could cause deadlocks
because of a workaround for crappo exchange.
(imap_disconnect_online): Dont pass an exception to LOGOUT
command. The required response 'BYE' always sets an exception
when we call LOGOUT. This also interfered with a lot of other
processing causing partial failures and messed up offline/online
state.
* camel-disco-folder.c (disco_prepare_for_offline): Do progress
reporting.

CAMEL
A generic Messaging Library
----
Introduction:
-------------
Camel is a generic messaging library. It supports the standard
messaging system for receiving and sending messages. It is the
messaging backend for Evolution.
The name "camel" stands for ... nothing. Open area of development there.
You know, that "bazaar" thing. Maybe could we organize a big contest on
gnome-list to find the best explanation :)
Camel draws heavily from JavaMail and the IMAP4rev1 RFC. People
wanting to hack on a provider should read the JavaMail API
specification, but CMC and MAPI are of interest too.
Organization:
-------------
The library is roughly a set of abstract classes, some kind of generic
"interfaces" (IDL interfaces, not Java interfaces).
Particular implementations are called providers.
Here are the basic objects:
* CamelService : An abstract class representing an access to a server.
Handles the connection and authentication to any server.
* CamelStore (CamelService): A hierarchy of folders on a server.
* CamelFolder : An object containing messages. A folder is always
associated with a store.
* CamelMessage : An object contained in folders. Is defined by a set
of attributes and a content. (Attributes include: the date it was
received, the sender address, .....)
* CamelTransport (CamelService): A way to send messages.
