The problem with links and Maildir is that it wouldn't synchronize the
"read" status of the messages. The read status is stored in the
filename, thus, the link could be renamed (thereby marking it as read)
without affecting the original message's read status. Even worse, if
the original is marked as read, it is renamed, thereby breaking any
soft links to it.
And you're right, deletion gets even messier. :)
