checkout from collective and install the dependent modules bda.email.imap and bda.cache and restart zope
Install BlueWebMail with the quickinstaller (BlueWebMail already uses a profile, but the installation is a mixture between QI and profiles and the profile is invoked programmatically by the install script -> planned to be changed at plone 3 mirgration)
create an address book object and a mailbox object with the authenticated user.

testing
fix folder management for several IMAP servers (currently tested against courier, but the behaviour differs on other servers)
optimize caching (on message management actions cache flushes are made as reload, thats not that fast)
some refactoring of the underlying imap lib (bda.email.imap), see README.txt in module for details
make all this macro stuff beeing viewlets (planned when migrating to plone3)
modify controller being a viewlet manager to get rid of this ugly redirecting stuff (planned when mirgrating to plone3)
move headerparsing from browser view to lower level
get rid of QI setup
