Indeed, and we certainly could do that, although it involves a  
cyrus.index header format change, which is unnecessarily painful with  
the current data format. The question is how much value would you get  
from it, given that the user's contribution to the cyrus.cache,  
cyrus.header, mboxlist, annotations (and on the fastmail branch,  
conversations) dbs are not accounted for.
