+1 I've used mbox exclusively since the days of SunOS4.1.3 or a bit before, with a variety of MUAs - between three and four decades of trouble-free use. Migrating my 1254 mboxes to mdir would not give me anything other than an extra pile of directories and a horrifying number of files. (What it might give the reader is his concern entirely.) Erik
