Ok, then I think it would make not much sense to make it different than
notmuch. Of course with good arguments changes can go the other direction as
well.

I agree with you and don't to expose such details. What I want is a way to
separate the frontend from the backend completely. This would allow me to
use the frontend with any of:
- heliotrope
- sup (maybe)
- notmuch (not written in ruby)
- my own toy project (not in ruby either)
- any combination of both, where "writes" are dispatched to all of them,
and "reads" are dispatched to one of them (that I can change easily).
I also want to be able to script batch operations on the mail store easily.
Best regards,
