This sounds good. Still it will be neccessary to synchronize with all
files, not only the first one. Currently, I experience a problem with
messages sent by myself to a list. The S flag is sometimes added to
the message in sent folder insted of to the message in inbox.

Great! Seems that it is still not finished and I do not want to do
duplicite work, so let me know what is the current status and whether
you need some help from me (e.g. tests for multiple messages with same
ID). I should be on IRC today.
