Shouldn't the maildir handling stuff be added to movemail instead? The
maildir is just a different kind of INBOX right? So naturally it would
be movemail's (or it's replacement's) job to move the files from
maildir to the crashbox file (or wherever). This modified movemail
then could be used by all Emacs MUAs.
