But that describes a simple 1:1 mapping case. Nothing there says the

Fair enough ... I'm just trying to imagine exactly a) what "conflicting"
clients would be doing, exactly, to conflict, and b) what SHOULD happen
when a conflict occurs. As I understand it, the messages are immutable,
so there's no issue in terms of two clients changing a message.
It's mostly about refile and delete, in the IMAP-MH case. Client A deletes
message 1. Client B moves it to folder foo. Who wins? Especially when B
syncs after A, thus message 1 is no longer in place on the server. (These are
*very* simple examples of what you have to deal with ...)
