But in the Mozilla mail
clients it's possible to create virtual folder hierarchies and sub-
structures. And this is DANGEROUS with mbox. I have had no problems
with only one level of hierarchy (i. e. flat structure) using mbox.

So my request is actually: Either remove the capability to create
folder structures, or make it reliable.



What kind of unreliability are you talking about? I'be been using the same mbox file (folders and all) since 1997, successively moving from various versions of Netscape to Thunderbird, then to SeaMonkey. I never had any sort of problem, corruption or otherwise.

Of course, I compact my folders regularly and don't keep thousands of emails in my inbox (that's what the folders are for), so that might have something to do with it.

From my experience (since I manage all my relatives' computers and they've gone through the same mbox evolution as I have), I've never seen any problems with that file format (unlike Outlook's notorious "let's get automatically currupted once the file reaches X Mb" problem, for example).
