Eudora Replacement



Hello:

Another important factor in the long term success of Unix is the
ineroperability of tools.  Although I use mh primarily, I can also use
exmh, sylpheed, and squirrelmail (I regularly use the last two).  The
underlying data structure is the same, individual files.

As I only barely understand it, the mbox format was developed by
sys admins who didn't want so many small files around for each
user.  Do evolution, thunderbird, and kmail give you a choice about
how mail gets stored: individual files, mbox, or uniq format?  I know
that sylpheed will allow either individual files or mbox, which is the
best answer.
