That's only true if and only if the mbox file is NOT in mboxcl2
format. Many mbox formats (mboxo, mboxrd, and mutt's favorite: mboxcl)
transform internal lines that begin with From into From, but mboxcl2
does not (it uses Content-Length: headers to reliably determine where
the next message is).
There's a good description of several of the common mbox formats here:

My script does this: count the mails in some particular maildir, then assign
the
number to a var:
if [ -d ${mymaildir} -a $(find ${mymaildir} -type f -print | wc -l) -ne 0 ];
then
mailsnew=$(find ${mymaildir}/*/new -type f | wc -l | sed 's/ //g')
# mails=$(($(find ${mymaildir}/*/cur -type f | wc -l | sed 's/ //g') +
${mailsnew}))
if [ ${mailsnew} -ne 0 ]; then
if [ -d ${mymaildir}/private ]; then
privmailnew=$(find ${mymaildir}/private/new -type f | wc -l |
sed 's/ //g')/
fi
if [ -d ${mymaildir}/inbox ]; then
inmailnew=$(find ${mymaildir}/inbox/new -type f | wc -l | sed
's/ //g')/
fi
mailsfmt=[${privmailnew}${inmailnew}${mailsnew}]
fi
fi
But I don't know how to transform this script to suit for mbox mails counting.
You were told already...
privmailnew=$(grep -c '^From ' ${private})
inmailnew=$(grep -c '^From ' ${inbox})
Replace ${private} and ${inbox} with the files you keep the e-mails.

Right.
Have you even tested this assertion?
I could swear I did, which is why I did it like this in my shell
scripts ... but I take everything back ...
How about:
find $mailhier -type f -size 0 -delete

Thanks, but that's the one part that I want to solve... I'm not familiar with sh
script, the script I use for maildir is the follows:
mailhier=~/.mutt/mails
if [ $(find $mailhier -type f -print | wc -l) -ne 0 ]; then
for d in $mailhier/*
do
if [ $(find $d -type f -print | wc -l) -eq 0 ]; then
rm -r $d

I don't know how to do the same thing in sh script for mbox? Any one can figure
me out of it?
Thank you.

Your script does this:
if [ number of regular files in $mailhier is not zero ] then
for all folders in $mailhier/ do
if [ number of regular files in $mailhier/folder is zero ]
then delete folder
fi
done
fi
The thinking behind this for mbox format is different because you do
not have so many files...
A simply line will do:
find $mailhier -empty -exec \rm -f {} \;
or, if in a script, protect the sensitive characters (\, {, }, etc.):
find $mailhier -empty -exec \\\rm -f \{\} \\\;
