Seems to be easy enough, indeed. Till now, I've been reluctant to use Maildir because of disk-space issues (Maildir is a great inode eater!), and because my whole mail system (mutt, postfix, procmail) is configured for mbox (and I have a lot of these folders). > Whats the end goal anyway?

Are you trying to find a problem for a solution? :) A solution :) I don't want to leave mails on the server because I have limited storage space there. And I want to be able to do offline reading, since most places I travel to happen to be disconnected environents, or connected via a regular 33k6 modem (which means slow and expensive bandwidth). -- mike dentifrice
