Yeah, how exactly are you supposed to filter mail into seperate
mailboxes when using Maildir? It seems that it forces you to
either a) sort realtime (each time the mail folder is opened) or b) have
seperate mail folders that each contain all the message files. Neither
of those are very good solutions imho.
I'd like to start using Maildir (it was markedly faster), but I can't
go without sorting. I'm on dozens of lists and get tens of thousands of
emails a month. One big box will **NOT** suffice :P
