Maybe someone who uses offlineimap can comment on this. In the worst
case, I'm sure the patch wouldn't be too hard.

It's not difficult per se, it just requires scanning over the entire
source, which is slow. Removing this assumption would be tantamount to
running sup-sync -c every time you start up sup.
Here's the idea: scanning over a mailstore is slow. Much of this
slowness is due to Ruby. So let's rewrite this code in C. Then we would
have something as fast as, say, Mutt. But Mutt bogs down on my mbox file
because it's too big. So my *only* reasonable choice with a large
mailstore is Sup and the assumption that the source is add only.
