Even the real use for it (i.e. transferring settings to another machine) is mis-used for syncing things between multiple machines by some people. Yes, the argument of "it works so why not" is OK, except when it no longer works when doing that and people grouch that something broke. I would possibly go as far as to say that that particular functionality has run its course and could be consigned to the big bit-bucket in the sky. Perhaps take it off the main 'File' menu and change it to something like "Save account settings" in the preferences and not backup the actual stored messages.
