Next step will be thinking about pilerimport. As far as I understand
the docs, no files are deleted during the import. So I have to ensure

by default no. However you may use the -r option which says remove after
importing.

that the files in /var/piler/imap keep consistent, means deleting the
whole content after a cron-controlled import could be a bit tricky, if
there are new mails arriving while the import is running which are not

that's why you have 2 dirs under /var/piler/imap: "cur" and "new". I tried to imitate how mail servers handle the Maildir structure. So pilter.pl writes files to "new", and after the files is written, and the file handle is closed, then it relocates (ie. rename) the file to "cur". So you should process only
the cur directory with pilerimport.

yet detected by pilerimport. Does pilerimport performing any
duplicate-detection? If so, deleting would be obsolete, which would
make the process easier to control.

yes, piler discards duplicates.
