Some of the suggestions here advocate synching the entire Mail
directory. I don't know about you guys, but my Mail directory is
enormous. It's my understanding that imap is supposed to keep state on
the server and thus ease the burden of synching state across
clients. 

Let's say I read news from the same server from my two clients, and
read mail ONLY using the nnimap back end. What needs to be synched for

- the news part of my use; and
- the nnimap part of my use?
