Thanks, Uday. I was pretty sure I was using VM with MH-format folders about 10 or 11 years ago, but that was probably a whole different incarnation of VM. > > If you are commiting to using VM, then your best bet is to keep VM folders > in its native mbox format, and work with Mutt and VM in parallel for a > while.

I was going to try a few different MUAs in parallel, to see the benefits and shortcomings of each. I suppose I could setup VM to fetch POP3 messages without deleting them from the server, right? Then I could have separate mbox and Maildir archives for a while. Thank you! -pd
