lei will watch (via inotify/EVFILT_VNODE) mail stores it knows
about for flag updates.  At least that's the plan...

Also, when overwriting an existing output, I think it would be
wise to do an implicit import of any messages that aren't
already in lei/store or an external.  That would save users
from accidentally trashing their data.
