Good catch.  The proper/easiest fix is to check if the expanded  
mailbox provided to _modifyExpandedList() will change the current  
expanded list entry, and only set the value if this value changes.

Performing garbage collection on this preference value is not a good  
idea in IMP 4.x.  This is better done in IMP 5 where we can set up a  
system task to occasionally do this.  However, the expanded list  
preference may be going away in the near future since it has a major  
limitation: it doesn't work across various mail servers.  So I am not  
in any rush to create a garbage collection script in IMP 5 either.
