While it doesn’t address all of your desires, did you ever investigate mh / nmh as a local mail format?

Yes. It has some really good ideas, but my main issue is that it claws 
all mail out of your maildir into it's own storage. I can relate, as I'd 
say the mh storage format is probably still somewhat better than 
maildir, but then you're basically stuck with using the mh tools. And 
the format is not quite good enough to me to make such a concession (or 
try to build tooling on top of it).

It's all very subjective of course. If you don't care about certain 
use-cases, mh looks like some pretty good tooling (I never tried it, 
just read the docs).

Cheers,
Conrad
