mbsync is stateful, and that does neither prevent you from doing one-way
sync (Sync Pull) nor from having multiple clones (though you'd need to
set different SyncState values if you use the same machine to populate
all slaves).
the state file is not a cache, because it cannot be reconstructed from
data mbsync knows about.
loss of the sync state will cause all messages to be regarded as new and
thus duplicated. in case of on-way sycing, the easiest recovery is to
simply throw away the damaged clone and start from scratch.
