Online IMAP will work similar to how it worked on KMail1. Where KMail1 only cached headers, Akonadi will do that and keep messsage bodies for a certain time before discarding them. I think the timeout is something like an hour. So if one opens an IMAP folder, headers for all messages are fetched (needed for displaying subjects, etc). Any message which is viewed will be downloaded at viewing time but then be locally available until the cache timeout purges it. After that it has to be downloaded again. Once there we have proper UI for configuring cache policies, this timeout can of course be manipulated, e.g. further reduced.
