Hmm, dunno, but I find a cat old_mbox >> current_mbox also quite easy.
Dunno how maildir names the files, but if it's just a semi "random"
(increasing numbers count like this as well) name, than "merging" two
folders will create dupes (just like my cat above does).
Okay, I just tested. Using procmail, I end up with files named like
this:
995153880.17759_1.teich
995153880.17760_1.teich
995153880.17761_1.teich
....
So a simple copy will also create dupes. No gain here.

Hmm, I have
set record=`date +${HOME}/Mail/Sent-Mail-%Y-%m`
in my muttrc. This causes the sent messages to be stored in
Sent-Mail-2001-07 for this month. So, to sync, just copy the files over
and cat them together. No big deal.
