For me unsure is an error state, since it requires a

it.

Yes it does. Feel free to construct a loop go trhough
maildir. Or simply build a wrapper that collects all the
messages into on mbox.

There is really no hint for that. I use it for many months
and have no need to mess around with my database. I just do
the corrections runs needed every few days.
