Not all that well. I think with mboxes it handles it pretty well, but
with maildir it breaks if it can't update dovecot-uidlist file.

Also index files can cause problems. Although nowadays there is at least
some code which tries to move the indexes to memory if writing fails.
It's not perfect though.
