I changed mailbox format to maildir for all the directories where the number of messages began to make a noticeable hit on mutt's opening time. So far it's been an easy ride except now if I hit the save key I get a maildir instead of nice text file. That is if I forget. Then I have to extract the text file from a subdirectory. So, behold the power of habit. Otherwise there are no drawbacks I'd know of.
