Right...

If you like Maildir, there's l2md:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dborkman/l2md.git/

I guess it'd be helpful to have a clients list in our
documentation somewhere...

Maybe I'll have time to work on some client tools, probably in
the vein of mairix where it'll dump search results into a
Maildir/mbox/IMAP folder.

Fwiw, I don't like Maildir for long-term storage at all, it's
fine for volatile inboxes, but has the same problems as loose
git objects which I don't like.

I'm moving away from the Email::* namespace since it's mostly
poorly-maintained, bloated, and unavailable from some distros.

More stuff is going in-tree, and Inline::C + liburing will be an
option for doing FS I/O :)

I suggest l2md for now :)
