Hmm... From our POV it's the obvious thing to do. However, I have no
idea how all the softwares reading our Maildir will handle that.

I have no strong opinion on this. This might worth a try. Feel free to
do whatever you want!

I suggest to wait I revert the patch if you'd like to go further,
though.
