Well ... this will require some changes in local delivery (I'm using
postfix and procmail). At all places (work,notebook) I will have to
use IMAP for accessing folders (not sure but I think that pine can't
access anything else thant unix mbox). That is lots of work, but less
than writing such tool myself.
Big question is how maildir store email status? If it is stored in
separate file it should work, but if it is in same file as header and body
... still lots of questions :)

This mailing list is stored in mail/konference/d-user-2001 when I will
download this flat file over rsync to my notebook and new email arives
rsync will proably fail or go to infinite loop ... that was my point.
