This is a lot of memory for people that have a lot of messages stored. This 
dictionary already needs quite some memory.

I don't see a reason for wasting any amount of memory just because the 
algorithm used is stupid. And this algorithm anyway needs changing.

If you don't want to change that to update for all moved mails at once, I can 
also do that, I doubt, that this is much work.
