We switched to Maildir a while back due to performance issues with mbox,
primarily centered around locking and the cost of rewriting the entire file
when one message changes. Haven't looked back since.

Our config is pretty vanilla - users in LDAP (via pam_ldap), standard UNIX
home directory layout, Sendmail on the MTA hosts.
