into just about anything through scripting. I find the separate file for each message problematic because I know (or think I know) that inodes are finite, at least in ext2/3. Can a Linux box have one mount point with an unlimited fs (reiserfs?)? I dunno. But if MH supports imap, I suspect that concern goes away.
I have been using Maildir on ext3 for years with hundreds of thousands of not millions of messages in one filesystem and have never once run out of inodes. My personal mail server has a ton of mail on it and only 13% of the inodes are used. I think the days of having to worry about inodes are long gone. This is mostly due to the size of modern disks which are huge.
