To tell specifics from my side, I am using maildirs and not mbox or Rmail or other single file formats, and when I have tried using Gnus with maildirs, it started creating huge new index of maildirs duplicating the maildir sizes from many gigabytes to double amount, and process never ended. Thus my specific case does not refer to mboxes. Rmail is quite usable and nice, Gnus is probably too, it is just not good for my specific case of using Maildirs. Other mail packages are also nice, I think Wanderlust (if not mistaken by name) is supporting various folders, yet I don't have same speed as using mutt. I wish there would be some solution, I did not find it yet. maildir package in elpa is about almost there to support maildirs, sometimes I use it, but is incomplete. Jean
