I say that keeping all messages in one (text-based) MBX file is a pretty poor design.

When I used to use the web interface when travelling, my read was that the
horrendous delays were the constant scanning the .mbx file with 100's of
messages in it on a non-dedicated mailbox partition that that was not
defragged.
I finally gave up trying to use it since every time I tried read or delete
messages, it refused, saying the .mbx/index file had changed due to another
message arriving after the current screen had been displayed.
