Let's see...  yeah, it syncs 100 articles "too much", and 100 lines is
about 3K, så 300K sounds right.  The point of doing 100 articles "too
much" is to get any flag changes done by other MUAs, and the idea is
that it's most likely to happen to quite recent messages.

This is 100 flags on articles we've seen before -- not new articles.

But perhaps 100 is too much?  25 might be more reasonable?
