if you edit the message and change its UID (which effectively means
giving it a new file name) as required by IMAP, mbsync will propagate a
deletion and a re-upload. but that wouldn't overwrite the local file.

if you edit it correctly without renaming, mbsync shouldn't even notice
that you changed it, so it won't upload it a second time, and even less
download it again.

so in short, i have no clue what is happening.

i need an actual version number. the debugging options depend on it.

the usual procedure is to enable mbsync's verbose/debug output and see
what it thinks it does.
