Imapsync and user concurrent access.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Q. What happens if a user access the mailbox during the transfer process?
R. Think all potential problems with a sync between
a master/source/host1 and a slave/destination/host2
What happens when a user access syncing accounts depends
on what he does, where he does and when:
* Reading: no problem anywhere, anytime.
* Writing at source/host1:
* adding folder => will need a resync after
* deleting folder => deletion not synced unless --delete2folders
* deleting message => deletion not synced unless --delete2
* adding message => will need a resync
* message flag change => will need a resync
* Writing at destination/host2:
* adding folder => no problem, unless --delete2folders is used
* deleting folder => might reappear by the sync
* adding message => no problem, unless --delete2 is used
* deleting message => might reappear by the sync
* message flag change => might be canceled by the sync
