mbox or maildir? > (Yes, I know I could do clever things to split incoming messages amongst > several mailboxes, but I don't _want_ to.) I also have just two mailboxes. inbox and trash! That's enough. For sorting/splitting there is mairix (or plain mutt searching) :) I started to use trash as my 2nd level mailbox, because startup of mutt took too long. Because deleting mails rewrote my entire mbox, I switched over to maildir, so no rewriting of the mbox file is necessary. Cheers, Bastian
