Cool!  I think for this and for gnus-sync (which I am still working on,
but have nothing useful yet) it's good to distinguish between ephemeral
things that we can recreate from the server and vital things that we
can't.  I don't know how to do that, though... Gnus doesn't make that
distinction except at the protocol level in nnimap.el.
