I did it to emphasize that in the context rtime appears in the code, it means
something about the remote folder (different from self), as opposed to mtime
that refers to the folder that has this code (self).

The difference between when we use the variable mtime or rtime in the code is
not as much what specific kind of timestamp it represents (it is loosely
speaking about the last time something happened to the message), but whether we
are dealing with the local or the remote message.

And what I suggested is that we treat IMAP modification times internally to
IMAPFolder, the same way we treat file mtimes internally in GmailMaildir, and
expose it outside the class via the same interface.

Ok! :)
