One final question. The mail folders contain an initial header, the one with

Subject: DON'T DELETE THIS MESSAGE ...

Is it OK to just delete the folder and touch to create it again, or should
this header be preserved? (I haven't seen any adverse effects by just
starting with the clean file here).

c-client and imapd store information regarding the other messages in the
folder in the headers of that fake first message.  If you've removed the
other messages from the folder than the info in that first message is
no longer relevant, so it should not be preserved.  imapd will recreate
it the next time it touches the file.
