I think there was previous discussion about using maildir. There's lots of discussion (bordering on religious wars) around about maildir vs. mbox. My two cents: mbox is very slow for large (5000+ messages) folders, and file corruption will corrupt whole folders instead of a single message. Also, the trend in filesystem optimization is in favor of small files.
No reason not to implement both, especially given that mbox is relatively easy, but I think maildir is more robust.
But anyway, yeah if that talk was about maildir, then yeah I'm happy to do this work for mbox. Like you said, it's not the best thing out there, but that's ok... hopefully with some tools in the future James will make it that much easier to move between these repository implementations.
