...and that's where I found the devil.  One way or another, the IMAP trainer
needs access to my password, and I just couldn't convince myself to type it
into a file (not the SB config file, not the procmail script, not a cron job,
no!).

So, I put together a tiny little script which wraps the invocation of
sb_imapfilter.py with a lockfile(1).  It's pretty inelegant (in several ways),
but it should work.  *sigh*
