I don't know what "buzon" means, and I can't tell whether you're
asking whether delivery to mailboxes in the user's home directory is
better than mailboxes in a spool directory, or whether mailbox format
is better than maildir format. From what you've said, I'd recommend
$HOME/Maildir delivery.

The performance of a mailbox depends upon what software is modifying
it the types of operations the user is performing. For a POP server
under qmail, your best bet is probably qmail-pop3d, which *requires*
maildir mailboxes.

That's a good reason not to use a central mail spool like
/var/spool/mail. If you use $HOME/Maildir, you can distribute the
users across as many directories as you need to keep the numbers down.

qmail works as well with mailboxes as any other MTA.

Better than what? /etc/passwd? Maybe.

Supposedly. Never used it, myself.

What about them?

Or perhaps one of the virtual users packages like vpopmail.

No need to apologize. Don't be surprised if we need clarification
sometimes, though.
