I have read that IMAP is much faster if you use maildir instead of mbox 
format for messages. I'm using uw-imap, and that's what their docs say.

Does anybody have experience with this? Can you confirm it? I'd also 
appreciate any advice or recommendations on how to do the conversion with 
a minimum of pain.

Thanks,

To attempt an understanding of Muad'Dib without understanding his mortal
enemies, the Harkonnens, is to attempt seeing Truth without knowing
Falsehood. It is the attempt to see the Light without knowing Darkness.
It cannot be.
