For Akonadi this is mostly true. It is not true for Nepomuk which is 
used for things like tags. I'm not sure where information like 
"replied", "forwarded", "important" is stored, but I think this is also 
stored in Nepomuk.

Mostly right. My point is that rsync and other low-level tools are no 
suitable solution for many people.
