SOGo does not update OpenChange metadata in any way. OpenChange modifies
mails, calendars, etc using SOGo-OpenChange library using the SOGo
framework.

You are more or less correct.

Right.

OpenChange but available in MAPI protocol. The MAPI protocol is stateful so
the client sends a state to the server about its current status and the
server acts consequently to update the client. also known as "Update
Folder". This operation for INBOX folder is automatic thanks to
notifications and for the other folders must be done manually or it will be
periodically by the client. I would like to note a known limitation
synchronising the hierarchy, the new root folders (INBOX level) appears
after Outlook process start.

I hope this clarifies a little the sync.
