mbox_sync_has_changed() does the first quick check. If it shows it's 
changed, the mbox is locked and the timestamp/size is again checked 
against indexes in mbox_sync_do().

With dirty syncing mbox_sync_do() first tries to check only for new 
mails (partial=true), if it fails then it reads everything.
