Yeah, I realize it'd be better to "fetch everything, please", and then
sign the local copies. Maybe it would be good for the IMAP server part
to know what logs are still unsigned, and to know what logs a user did
fetch already, eg. with mailboxes:

      imap:///.../arch/pending
      imap:///u...@.../arch/pending

(This is very rough, but hopefully you get the idea.)

Cheers,
