If you can generate the list (e.g. with the find command you cited), you
can add maildir sources with sup-add directly, instead of having to go
through sup-config.

If you want to automatically detect and add new folders, we could d
something similar in the startup hook. Something like (completely
untested):

  dirs = `find ~/Mail/whatever...`
  dirs.each do |d|
    uri = "maildir:#{d}"
    log "trying #{uri}..."
    unless SourceManager.source_for uri
      source = Maildir.new uri
      SourceManager.add_source source
      log "Added #{uri}"
    end
  end

Yep, indexing stuff is slow. FWIW, you only have to do it once, and
there are new index backends that are significantly faster. (But still
far from instantaneous.)
