Kevin, mbox seems faster to me (Linux/ext2), and it can be read be virtually every email application. With Maildir, however, no locking mechanism is needed, and they say it's more secure. I have just switched back to mbox because my old computer and high traffic mailing lists go together better this way. Opening an mbox is definitely faster than openening a maildir with the same contents, but YMMV. -Andre --G4iJoqBmSsgzjUCe Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE9A1+qWkhBtALlJZ0RAjKCAJ4gImd40ESw2GOO7iQmz8zpBOO+dACdEt3f giJbJh1BL15I+Wq+KpiQd3A= =Mu/M -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --G4iJoqBmSsgzjUCe--
