Details

The IMAP sync logic in growth/initial sync logic will keep issuing additional syncs until the desired number of headers are accumulated.  This works fine unless the slice has been killed, in which case the awkward situation is created where sync keeps going but the slice will never get any of the messages because the call to add the messages will bail because the slice is dead.  `MailSlice.die` needs to become more thorough and the IMAP sync logic needs to explicitly consider/check the possibility that the slice is dead.
This was fixed on gaia/master by bug 822882.
