--- Comment #1 from Andrej Kacian <andrej at kacian.sk> ---
Incidentally, last week I was toying with exactly this, and came to a
conclusion that while doable (the patch worked nicely, feeds were being fetched
in parallel, each in its own thread), it would need a lot of work to implement
(and use!) locks around all the data structures in Claws Mail. Thread-safety is
difficult to do, especially in a large, old program which hasn't been designed
with multi-threading in mind.
