Add to this is that the entire mozilla libraries are still

Just tried it by catenating many folders into a single folder
exceeding 4GB (11.8 GB, to be exact).

Yes, and Maildir is the intended solution to that limit, because compacting mbox files is an expensive operation, and incremental backup of mbox files is difficult or impossible depending on your backup software.
Well, I just wanted to underscore that the MozDev team is simply INCAPABLE
of prting the Moz libraries into the present time. They are indeed stuck in a time
loop of 32 bits.


Note that you *can* use a folder larger than 4GB if it is IMAP, and only if it is IMAP.
Certainly - because the Google server handles huge files and filesystems and devices.

Not sure about other mail servers.
