I was talking about incorporating from a maildir spool; sorry for
misusing the phrase "back end" in my last message.
Supporting maildir as a folder format is also an interesting idea, but
probably not as important. I think nnml (for example) is adequate
since you never have multiple processes manipulating the folder and
you can always regenerate the overview database from scratch.
