I wouldn't mention drivers since that's an implementation detail the user wouldn't know about.

good point, the concept is mentioned only briefly in the debug section.

That said, since the UID data shouldn't change between a dry and real run, is there any technical reason why we can't have the dry run operate read-only on the uid database/validity file?

as i said, the imap server will do it anyway, and there is nothing isync could do about it. it seems acceptable, and arguably even desirable to keep the behavior consistent between backends.

also, i still don't see a _good_ use case for true read-only operation.

so we would be adding implementation complexity for a useless and arguably even counter-productive feature. that makes no sense.
