Yes, the quickchanged() checks if it should perform a regular sync or
not and it looks at changes on REMOTE. A change on REMOTE occured if it
a) has a different number of messages than we have recorded in the
statusfolder and
b) the highest UID on REMOTE is not the highest UID in the status
folder.

It is case b) that I am not sure about if it brings a lot of
benefits. It catches some cases of changes on REMOTE that are not caught
otherwise, but it also means one more IMAP roundtrip per folder.
Not sure at all. We can probably leave it as it is now and think about
it when we picked all other low hanging fruit :-).
