The Populate thread is created when a folder is opened. It is from this thread that _wpPopulate is invoked. wpPopulate is responsible for finding and instantiating from their persistent state all objects that reside in a particular folder. Because this is very I/O intensive, this is handled asynchronously. The Populate thread is responsible for sending messages to the container instructing it to add new records representing the newly instantiated objects.
