Well I guess i didn't put it that way, but that is basically the
major change I just made - before it woudl write out the X-Evolution
header during summarising/indexing, now it waits till expunge.

It doesn't yet, but will, also update the status directly
more or less as they change (right now it'll update only the headers
on expunge without rewriting the whole mbox if thats all that has
changed, so I just need to reuse that code).
