Interesting. Evolution and Thunderbird both seem to store local email in
mbox-like files, but have additional index files, presumably to speed up
searching and sorting.
And, can you believe it, Evolution still, in year 2009, corrupts lines
starting with 'From ' to '>From '. It obviously needs to evolve some more.
I have run my own small (but with large folders, I am a hoarder) email
server for many years and the above approach grew out of frustrations
at previous iterations.
