So I finally bit the bullet and installed IMAP so that I could use one
of the non-openwebmail webmails.  Squirrelmail's docs make a big point
of how if you're running mbox and don't make sure the locking
mechanisms are well-coordinated, you run a risk of turning your
mailboxes into hamburger.

How do I find out if mutt and dovecot see eye-to-eye on locking
mechanisms?

I've heard lots about how dangerous mbox is and how I should probably
not even be using it, but I've been using mbox for an awfully long
time now, and I have a feeling that converting my system would be
non-trivial.  Or at least annoying.  While I understand that maildir
allows you to isolate corruption to single messages instead of the
entire mailbox, I guess corruption just seems so unlikely that I
haven't worried about it.  I'm sure it will bite me soon.
