REPLACE can be used to update draft messages as you are editing. Instead of
requiring an APPEND and STORE of \Deleted and EXPUNGE. REPLACE works
atomically.
It has a syntax similar to APPEND, just allows you to specify the message to
replace that's in the currently selected mailbox. The regular REPLACE-command
works on a message sequence number, the UID REPLACE commands on a uid. The
destination mailbox, of the updated message, can be different. For example to
move a draft message from the Drafts folder to the Sent folder.
We have to do quite some bookkeeping, e.g. for updating (message) counts for
the mailbox, checking quota, un/retraining the junk filter. During a
synchronizing literal, we check the parameters early and reject if the replace
would fail (eg over quota, bad destination mailbox).
