Yes, this was what I was getting at - is there a way to change Evo's
INTERNAL mail storage format to Maildir. I guess not.
And yes, it does have something to do with mbox, in fact this
"evolution-specific format" is nothing but (indexed) mbox AKA one huge
text file with all the messages appended:
$ head .evolution/mail/local/LKML

etc
And THIS is the cause of Evo's scalability problems - it would be better
if Evo *internally* use one file per message AKA maildir.
