It sounds like you put some thought into it.  In general, I think it's a
good idea to preserve compatibility, so I understand why you went this
route.  However I'm still leaning towards making the options independent
in this case.  I think if we're going to split it out, we might as well
give the configurability both ways.

I think this would be too much work, not to mention the complications
when a mailbox listed in beep_new_buffy is not even polled by
'mailboxes'.  Let's just keep the binary option and have a single
command (mailboxes) for polling mailboxes.
