If you're using Maildir++ quota, then quota recalculation is slower
because those files need to be stat()ed to get the size.

They are calculated and saved to dovecot-uidlist files. Maildir++ quota
code ignores that though..
Anyway, the filenames themselves can't be renamed, because
the ,S=xx,W=yy is part of the "maildir base filename", and changing it
assigns a new UID for the message.
