Crap, I think you're right. Polling will be trivial and no more messing
around with timestamps.

In fact I don't even have to scan cur/ on startup; I can just assume
it's unchanged. If you screw with the Maildir via another MUA you have
to run sup-sync --changed, just like with every other source.

For this to work, the "offset" for each message will have to be its
filename. I wonder how many implicit assumptions that will violate.
