Ah, but if you *really* insist on using the mbox-format, I don't think
you will have that much mail in it :-)

On a sidenote this (IMHO) lack of functionality in Evolution made me set
up fetchmail + procmail and make Evo fetch it from there instead :-)

Sounds nice.

And one last thing: I really think you should either phase out mbox as
default format, or make it possible for making other mail storage format
as default for new folders - it's tedious to change properties of all
newly created mail folders to Maildir without indexing :-)
