good question, afaik it's a mix of index files (for uids and flag values) and 
config files (flag changes, annotation, etc). Since KMail doesn't really do 
incremental IMAP syncs (that is it usually determines what has changed by 
doing a full comparisson with the server state), it can work with a lot less 
detailed information than what Akonadi needs.
