I'm pretty active on the mutt-users list, and I've seen this go by. I
*think* that it was solved in 1.2.4, and am almost positive that it's
solved in 1.2.5; the last backport of the fix from the 1.3 (unstable)
series was for 1.2.4.
You can use Maildir or MH "mailbox" formats, but I haven't had any
problems with mbox and the latter is a lot better for archiving, which is
where the bulk of my mail is anyway.
Of course, you shouldn't run out of disk space in the first place ;-)

Wow. That's way up, all right. I don't think even a few gods hanging
out together to get that to happen, unless maybe it were a Win emulator
under Linux ;-)
