sorry, that mdir s/b mbox

mbox stores multiple emails in a single file while maildir separates each
email into separate files.  There are advantages and dis-advantages to
each format.  Personally, I use mbox but have a great number of locally
stored emails.

spending some time reading the above references for procmail, reading the
mutt documentation and googling for mbox and maildir formats will greatly
enhance your understanding and make it possible for you to make
intelligent decisions rather than just jumping on-board whatever happens
to be in front of you.

google *is* your friend.
