We currently write out the complete LocalStatus on each changes, eg on
each new received message. On big folders that can be a 3MB write for
each received mail when syncing. Personally, my mail folders aren't that
big, but I know of quite some people, whose Maildirs are enormous. And
they switched from OfflineImap away because of this.
