You're missing the point of my objection.
That the server is slow or difficult to manage [which includes backup]
is the issue - not that it uses MBOX [regardless of that its use of MBOX
is the root of the *server's* issue].
Thinking of it in terms of messages-storage-format is misguided [I only
mention it because I see the MBOX/MH/Maildir/Maildir++/etc... debate
frequently]. This represents, IMO, a flawed approach to the problem.
Migration to a new solutions [an IMAP server] that provides better
performance / management is the fix. Incidently, it will almost
certainly not use MBOX.
If you are 'manually' crawling around in your message-store [the *only*
case where you'd actually care much about storage format] indicates
something else it wrong [as well].
