Hi Kristoffer,

I really like the idea of sluk, and I don't want to make it painful to
use. So that's for pointing out this problem.

I've now pushed a change that will avoid doing any renaming except in
directories named either "new" or "cur".

That's not the strongest heuristic for detecting maildir, (we could
actually look and see if all three of "cur", "new", and "tmp"
directories exist, for example). But it's at least a very cheap
heuristic. So hopefully this will help for your use case.

And obviously, one can still configure the maildir synchronization off
(globally) if desired.
