        Hi,
there is a folders.db file, which contains an information about the
messages in all the folders for each account. This information is used
in the message list, apart of other things. That's an SQLite database,
I do not think they override the whole file, definitely not for me, at
least according to [1]. My largest folders.db file has 232M.

Apart of the folders.db file there are respective messages stored,
those which you opened. For folders marked for offline synchronization
those messages, which had been downloaded. Once the message is
downloaded, it's not re-saved, the cached file is used.

        Bye,
        Milan
