Lennart,

   I have been using Sylpheed and MH format since July 23, 2003.  At least, 
those are my earliest email files.  I have no complaints.  A separate file for 
each email makes it easier to use grep to search your email archives.  

   I recall liking the mbox format.  I had things set up so that I could launch 
pine, balsa or kmail, depending on my mood.  I found that Netscape would delete 
emails by setting a flag that the other email programs did not recognize.
