/**
 * @short Represents the caching policy for a collection.
 *
 * There is one cache policy per collection. It can either specify that all
 * properties of the policy of the parent collection will be inherited (the
 * default) or specify the following values:
 *
 * - The item parts that should be permanently kept locally and are downloaded
 *   during a collection sync (e.g. full mail vs. just the headers).
 * - A minimum time for which non-permanently cached item parts have to be kept
 *   (0 - infinity).
 * - Whether or not a collection sync is triggered on demand, i.e. as soon
 *   as it is accessed by a client.
 * - An optional time interval for regular collection sync (aka interval
 *   mail check).
 *
 * Syncing means fetching updates from the Akonadi database. The cache policy
 * does not affect updates of the Akonadi database from the backend, since
 * backend updates will normally immediately trigger the resource to update the
 * Akonadi database.
 *
 * The cache policy applies only to reading from the collection. Writing to the
 * collection is independent of cache policy - all updates are written to the
 * backend as soon as the resource can schedule this.
 *
 * @code
 *
 * Akonadi::CachePolicy policy;
 * policy.setCacheTimeout( 30 );
 * policy.setIntervalCheckTime( 20 );
 *
 * Akonadi::Collection collection = ...
 * collection.setCachePolicy( policy );
 *
 * @endcode
 *
 * @todo Do we also need a size limit for the cache as well?
 * @todo on a POP3 account, is should not be possible to change locally cached parts, find a solution for that
 *
