Indeed. The old mbox format has a number of disadvantages. Expunging
deleted messages can mean copying a large file, which is a) slow and b)
may not succeed if the user doesn't have enough space. This would tend
to happen precisely when the user noticed his quota running out and
wanted to expunge deleted files to recover space. Oh, the irony :-)

They also require a locking mechanism, which could be problematic with
NFS-mounted mailboxes. Maildir largely eliminates these issues.
