* srobertson: In response to your <code>getFolders()</code> comment. I'd encourage you to make the programming model as async as possible. If we avoid synchronous methods we can keep the UI responsive and not have to worry about whether this folder is local or remote on a mail server. | * srobertson: In response to your <code>getFolders()</code> comment.

** jminta's response: I agree that blocking the UI for a long time would be a bad idea, but at the same time, async requests are inherently more complex. Especially for get() methods, I think we win if we can abstract away the async part and expose a synchronous method to these consumers. | |||
