It's unfortunately, a FAQ, and the situation is still not great, and hasn't
changed.  It's not something we can do.   I want it too, exactly for the
reasons you say.  And also I move my older email (more than 7-8 years), to
from my desktop to a server with more RAID-fu, and I'd also like access to
those archives. (Would be nice to mount it read-only even)

My inbox is on my server, and until I pull it into MH, I can get to it via
IMAP or POP3.  So at least, if I do some transaction on my phone which
requires a confirmation email, I can get that if I access it immediately.

I also would like to be able to point a local running
thunderbird/evolution/.. at my local inbox via IMAP... but.

If I had time, today I'd ffi-wrap libmh for Rust or GO. I think that there
are some newer IMAP server implementations in these nicer langauges.
