I don't think sharing this data with other MUAs should be a primary
design goal here...

If you can't reach the IMAP server, you can't read your email, which
makes the whole thing somewhat moot.

The use case here (which I think is the typical use case, these days) is
"I read email all the time, and then I read a couple of groups from
eternal-news, and 74 groups from news.gmane.org, and I want those extra
groups to sync just like my mail". Like magic, without having to know
or set up anything else.

Or was that MongoDB?
