Check if you have ExternalPayload=false in your akonadiserverrc

Would be interesting to know if the resource got the retrieveItem calls for 
all messages that had to be moved.

It uses ResourceBase::retrieveCollections() which uses ItemSync.
Currently in the least advanced mode, we could try changing to incremental 
mode or by-pass the resource base implementation entirely (like Volker did for 
the an improved variant of maildir).

We could provide an import or convert option for those willing to move to pure 
maildir (i.e. don't need mbox folders).
Would take too long for migration, but as an explicitly started process this 
should be OK.
