That seems reasonable, but I don't think that Dovecot supports that on the
server side, and I wish it did.  For highly dynamic mailboxes, maildir is
nice.  But for more static ones, mbox has advantages, particularly in terms
of backups and not having to have bajillions of little files all over the
place.

For people's spam boxes that never get cleaned out, mbox is much better
than having hundreds of thousands of files in a directory.
