Updating dovecot.index.log is enough. v1.0 unneededly wastes disk I/O  
writing to dovecot.index way too often.

Check with v1.1's idxview what the index file contains after steps 2,  
3 and 4. After step 2 it should contain for the first message all the  
cached fields that client needs. Between 3 and 4 steps there should be  
no changes, and the cache fields should be exactly the same with the  
same decision rules as with step 2.
