UW-IMAP keeps information about the status of the mailbox in there. So
modifying the mailbox without updating that message could
theoretically be worse than just deleting the message (although I
think it's really only there for disconnected-mode support, and I
don't know which clients can make use of that yet). The best option is
just to use IMAP always or never, probably.
