I would say "use tmail". The cost in snarfing from traditional UNIX to
mix format is almost certainly worse.
Don't forget that there is plenty of locking necessary with traditional
UNIX mbox format.

I'm planning the migration from our current mail setup (IMAP server has local
disk for Unix mbox formatted mail folders and /var/mail inboxes, being
delivered via Sendmail over NFS) to a new setup with mix formatted mailboxes
with a local Postfix delivery and I was curious if it's a better idea to
configure Postfix with tmail to directly deliver to a mix mailbox in the
users home directory, or let Postfix drop mbox formatted mail to /var/mail
and then let imapd snarf the /var/mail inbox into the mix inbox the next time
the user checks mail.
On first thought, I planned on direct tmail deliveries, but then I was
thinking that I may be driving up the load average due to exec'ing tmail and
locking the mix inbox on every incoming message vs appending to the /var/mail
mbox and then only needing to lock the mix inbox when the user is actually
requesting new mail.
Thought???
