Applied! I merged in the several patches you sent into one revision. "svn
diff -r572:573" should give it to you.
I no longer use Maildir so it's up to you to test it. :)

It's great. I made one or two minor tweaks but that's it. (For example,
x = y || 3 instead of x = y ? y : 3).

Seems fine to me. The only thing that's going to be globally called is
some kind of delete method.

This is basically right. Sup interacts with sources in two ways: getting
a new message, and during sup-sync-back, and in both places should
synchronize read/unread and deleted/undeleted flags. (Actually
sup-sync-back doesn't even do read/unread for mbox yet.) Other flags are
left alone, except we kindly allow you to delete spam messages as well.
