Yes, it would be nice.  File a wishlist bug.  The question will
be whether it is a high-enough priority to get done any time "soon".

In the mean time, this *might* be faster:
1. Make any new folders in home Evo
2. --force-shutdown home Evo
3. rm all the home *cmeta *ev-summary *ibex.index* files (don't 
   forget sub-directories).
4. "cat >>" the school mboxes to the proper home mbox files.
5. restart home Evo.

It will recreate the metadata files.
