At least for personal use, I've been meaning to look into
automatically managing islands.

Agreed for serving public inboxes.

maxuid is either per-inbox or per-extindex.

If the search is going off of inboxes via --only, then it would
not see the new inbox at all.  If it's on an extindex like
"all", then yes, the newly-imported historical messages would
show up.

So using "rt:" (Received time) is helpful in the [extindex "all"] case

Also, the approxidate parsing is done every time with "lei up",
so you can have a rolling window with "rt:last.week.." as a
search parameter.
