    Fixed bug #2717: fetches of individual messages or short ranges no longer need to parse over the entire index.

    Bug #3603 - tidied up usage of kick_mupdate so it never gets called on standard murder backends
    Bug #3604 - always suppress the DELETED.* mailbox names, even if delete_mode is immediate. It means a config change or different frontend won't show undeletable mailboxes
    Bug #3602 - allow UpperCase in service names to work
