I disagree with that blanket statement. I find PM very stable, but I had
one irrecoverable situation when my old machine suddenly stopped (not
froze, just physically stoppped), because of heat problems, while writing
to the DB . I'm not sure how many DB apps could recover from that.
 I haven't heard that Mail is so stable as you suggest for keeping all
data intact, but I suppose the one message one file concept helps a bit.

What's really needed is a built in incremental backup feature. I tried to
write a script, but found no way of moving between folders, so the only
way would be to export only on basis of date. I do this by hand now.
