mailbox.py unfortunately only reads mailboxes (although it does handle
most formats, including Maildir, which is nice).

offlineimap (gopher://gopher.quux.org/1/devel/offlineimap) [1] uses
Maildir for storing messages, so you may want to look at it.

[1] I was pretty sure gopher was dead. There's a web interface at
http://gopher.quux.org:70/devel/offlineimap/ for those of us living in
the 21st century ;)
