My bunch of questions about this (sorry if it's offtopic):
- Is it possible to use both types at once? (maildir for the bigger
folders, mbox for the little ones)
- How could I change my mbox folders to maildir? Any program that does
this?
- Does procmail support this format?
- (ObMutt) Does mutt detect automatically the folder format?
Thanks in advance :-)
