In terms of the folder view I am thinking of any user interaction that
prompts M to do something with the mail headers, or mails, for example
viewing a mail or marking a mail etc. but also simpler things like scrolling
up the list.

So wxFolder view is the main controlling class for this part of the app ?
That is, depending on what kind of event happen this class delegates the work to
the appropriate class and so forth, thus enabling M to respond to user
interactions, like "flag this mail", "delete this mail" or "show this mail"
 etc. Is that a reasonable approximation of how it works ?

What do you mean by "it's not really supposed to be used in such a way" ?
