Much appreciated, I can use them as a template! But, just to clarify, as
I try to understand these shell scripts:

1. Do you run these on the mail server or on the client computer?
2. Do you have notmuch set up on both?
3. How do you prevent collisions, i.e. your notmuch scripts on the
   server running at the same time as offlineimap is accessing the
   maildirs remotely?

This does sound like the way to go for me. I can just go into the
maildirs that dovecot has for me on the server, and clean it up there.
(I guess I can just move the files somehow, since I'm looking for a
clean slate for step one.) Then I can implement a whitelisting script
using notmuch that runs on that server.
