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.
