The sync will still run every two minutes, but when quick is set to 100,
only every 100th (or 101st?) sync will do a full sync in which messages
are inspected for changes to flags, which tends to be slow on large
mailboxes.  During a quick sync, if there are no new messages or
deletions in the mailbox, you'll see messages like:
Skipping sent-mail (not changed)
