this is *our* magic string, not IMAP's.
ok, admittedly, we *also* send it to IMAP, but that's just convenience.
actually making it case insensitive would improve interoperability with
thunderbird (which interprets INBOX even if qualified), but would break
existing setups (including mine).
in fact, UIDNEXT (and UIDVALIDITY) null is *not* allowed (see RFC3501
section 9). them popping up nonetheless was a dovecot bug (which would
also confuse dovecot itself).
having it in as a workaround was no good either, as quite some other
code in mbsync assumes that UIDs are not null.
This reverts commit e1fa867 and most of 39006d7.

- introduce sys_error() and use it instead of perror() and
error(strerror()) in all expected error conditions
- perror() is used only for "something's really wrong with the system"
kind of errors
- file names, etc. are quoted if they are not validated yet, so e.g. an
empty string becomes immediately obvious
- improve and unify language
- add missing newlines
as opposed to earlier threats, BerkDB was not entirely dropped; i
suppose the isync 0.7 -> 0.8 change had a reason, so i added an
alternative UID storage scheme.
note that BDB 4.0 is not sufficient, as the db->open function changed in
an incompatible way ...
i updated the debian packaging except for a changelog entry.
note that i removed the upgrade blurb, as upstream now has a smooth
upgrade path down to at least isync 0.4.
the uid for each message in the maildir is now stored in a dbm database
rather than the filename. this change was necessary because isync became
confused if you copied a message to another folder, in which case the uid
was invalid.
as a result of the above change, isync now acquires a mutex on the mailbox
to protect the dbm database from concurrent access.
main() was reworked to continue gracefully when an error is encountered, and
to always call maildir_close() so that the lock can be disabled, and the
database closed.
sync_mailbox() didn't consider MaxSize == 0 to mean "unlimited".
load_config() needs to print a newline in its error messages since
next_arg() kills the newline of the line that was read out of the config
file.
out if new mail arrives while in the process of downloading
noted in BUGS section of man page that if new mail arrives after the initial
message list has been retrieved from the IMAP server, that new mail will not
be fetched until the next invocation of isync.
configuration directives
added `Maildir' configuration command to specify the default location of the
user's mailboxes. If a relative path is used in a `Mailbox' command, this
path is used as a prefix.
