/**
 * This class manages the huge tree of displayable objects: GroupHeaderItems and MessageItems.
 * The tree is exposed via a 'hacked' QAbstractItemModel interface to a QTreeView
 * subclass (which is MessageList::View).
 *
 * The keypoint in this class is that it has to be non-blocking in manipulating the tree:
 * fill, cleanup and update operations are performed in timed chunks. Perfect non-blocking
 * behaviour is not possible since there are some small operations that basically can't be
 * split in chunks. However, these exceptions apply to a minority of tasks and in the
 * average case the user will not notice.
 *
 * The data for building the tree is obtained from a subclass of StorageModel. The
 * StorageModel must offer a consistent rappresentation of a "flat" folder containing
 * messages.
