Actually I use maildir, but apart from delete performance which is usually rare, mailbox seems better for nearly all use patterns

Seems like if it were possible to "solve" delete performance then mailbox becomes the preferred choice for many requirements (also lets solve the backup problem where the whole file changes every day)

I think dbox's hybrid mbox/maildir approach would combine the best of both, but I haven't looked at dbox progress lately.
