I did not consider this a real problem. Adding a User option is very 
easy and solves the problem.

Please don't misunderstand me. I agree that this is a huge improvement! 
:-)
But someone might be expecting this buggy behavior, and might then 
experience data loss. But a big warning in the package NEWS.Debian file 
would be anough, as far as I am concerned.

Here is my .isyncrc file attached (gzipped). It was working fine with 
the old isync. I had 1000 messages in ~/Maildir/INBOX and around 23000 
in imap://localhost/INBOX.
Then I ran the new isync => alright.
Then I removed a few messages from ~/Maildir/INBOX.
Then I ran the new isync again => the messages are removed from 
  imap://localhost/INBOX but no extra old message was downloaded to 
  reach 1000 messages again
Then I ran "rm -rf ~/Maildir/INBOX".
Then I ran "isync -L INBOX" and all remaining messages were downloaded.


Am I missing something?
