* Dry-run crashes upon encountering new local or remote folders
+
`--dry-run` will die with `getfolder() asked for a nonexisting folder` when it
encounters folders that it has not previously synced. This is unfortunately a
result of the way that OfflineIMAP expects folders to look, and is nontrivial
to fix. In the meantime, dry run should only be used when the same sets of
folders exist on the local and remote sides of the sync.
