Ah, yes indeed. Thanks for the clarification - that completely passed me
over when I set up my system.
Any thoughts on mbox vs maildir and pop vs imap. Is there accepted best
practice or is this something best left to the individual users
discretion after reading up for themselves on the individual merits of
each?
I personally use maildir / imap. I don't know if this would happen with
mbox as well, but one of the downsides to maildir is that you end up
with a ton of tiny files making tar performance dismal if you decide to
make a tar archive.
I don't remember why I chose maildir when I did, that was eons ago. But
I do remember I had a reason. The default was mbox and I changed it. It
may have been performance related, but I don't remember.
As far as why I use imap to access my mail - that's a no brainer, it
lets me easily access it from almost any machine running almost any client.
