+-- Mailboxes: one row per connected mailbox, not one setting per person.
+--
+-- Gmail lived in `user_settings` under scope 'gmail'. That table has `user_id` as
+-- its whole primary key, so it holds exactly one scope per person and its upsert
+-- rewrites the scope name on conflict — adding IMAP beside Gmail there would have
+-- deleted the Gmail connection without saying so. Migration 0011 warns about this
+-- in as many words, and the warning was nearly walked into a second time.
+--
+-- The shape is wrong for the thing anyway. A person has mailboxes, plural: a work
+-- Gmail and a private iCloud is the ordinary case, not the exotic one. A row each
+-- says that. It also answers the question that prompted this — every mailbox
+-- belongs to a user, so two people on the same instance connect their own and see
+-- only their own. The one piece that stays instance-wide is the Google OAuth
+-- client, which is a single registration everybody signs in through, and that is
+-- correct: it is the app, not the account.
+--
+-- `kind` rather than two tables. What differs is how the credential is obtained —
+-- OAuth for Gmail, a password for IMAP — and what differs is a nullable column,
+-- not a schema. What is the same is everything the sync loop touches: which
+-- mailbox, how far it has read, when it last ran.
+--
+-- `password` and `refresh_token` are written sealed; see internal/secret. The
+-- store's own seal/unseal only covers the settings tables, so this table's methods
+-- call them by hand — a fact worth knowing before adding a third secret column.
+--
+-- `last_uid` is IMAP's place-marker and means nothing for Gmail, which keeps its
+-- own by query. Zero is "nothing read yet" for both.
