Thanks for all the discussion, I'd like to have this thread back to it's 
original meaning. I made my test again today, as there's nothing else 
running, seems everybody else has holidays, just me stupid hacking 
around.

I make an imapsync to my mailserver, which connects to the PostgreSQL 
db, and I get these numbers:

mailsrv -> db 15.482.309
db -> mailsrv 648.119.851

client -> mailsrv 1.771.458
mailsrv -> client 15.956.176

So with ~18MB IMAP traffic I produce ~663MB database traffic? Can 
somebody explain me this?
