Yup. I also don't trust and don't want somebody trusting my
code when it comes to deleting stuff.
So I've also been considering a script which deletes mail from
my Maildirs/IMAP folders if a ContentId matches what's in a
known public-inbox, perhaps after a certain time...

Yeah, IMAP client libraries are pretty disappointing
considering what the protocol is capable of.
I just checked libcurl and I don't see that it supports
IMAP IDLE, either; and honestly I'm not sure how to add
it since curl is more intended for URLs.
