Assume there's a message ~/Mail/inbox/cur/1440718280.10956_2.ahiker:2,S
MUA 1 wants to set the "tagged" flag, which means renaming
1440718280.10956_2.ahiker:2,S -> 1440718280.10956_2.ahiker:2,FS
MUA 2 wants to set the "replied" flag, which means renaming
1440718280.10956_2.ahiker:2,S -> 1440718280.10956_2.ahiker:2,RS
Only one of them can succeed, depending on the order they try. And
final state also depends on that order.
