Messages aren't removed from the incoming queue until they are believed to
be safely copied/linked in to the outgoing queue. So, no matter what crashes,
you should never lose mail.

This of course assumes that we are successful in judging when a mail has
been successfully transferred to the outgoing queue :-/
