Hello: Another important factor in the long term success of Unix is the ineroperability of tools. Although I use mh primarily, I can also use exmh, sylpheed, and squirrelmail (I regularly use the last two). The underlying data structure is the same, individual files. As I only barely understand it, the mbox format was developed by sys admins who didn't want so many small files around for each user. Do evolution, thunderbird, and kmail give you a choice about how mail gets stored: individual files, mbox, or uniq format? I know that sylpheed will allow either individual files or mbox, which is the best answer. doug
