An XML formatted mail in a folder configured to StorageFormat=XML will be read 
and, if changed, written back out in XML. An ical formatted mail in a folder 
configured to StorageFormat=XML will be read and written back as XML, but 
only if it was changed. If it isn't changed, it stays as is. So the 
per-folder setting specifies the format of new and changed incidences in the 
folder. The global config option specifies the format new folders will get. 
Existing folders keep their type.

Does that explain things better?
