Valuable, unrecoverable message meta-data (flags, tags, labels, etc.) should really be split off as a separate database: folders.db and, say, metadata.db. Martin Owens had a good point earlier in the thread about this being a good opportunity to start using XDG directories. folders.db then would live under $XDG_CACHE_HOME and could be safely destroyed, whereas metadata.db would live under $XDG_DATA_HOME.
