Quoting Bron Gondwana <br...@fastmail.fm>:

Can anyone think of any good reason we should allow zero byte
files to be appended via IMAP?  Just that I'm currently going
over the reconstruct code - and that's one of the few places
where it actually changes things.

Some applications (e.g. Kolab) store other objects than Mail (e.g. Addressbooks, Calendar, Tasks or Notes) in IMAP folders. They might
create empty objects for some reason.


Reconstruct will always unlink a zero byte file and remove the
record - but IMAP APPEND will actually create one.  We should
align the behaviour one way or the other!

Bron.
