a good solution is to not use mbox style mail folders. When KDE 3 hits Debian
kmail will be able to use mh, maildir, etc. Theoretically kmail could even use
a dbase for storage.
I am on most of the Debian lists and several others and my mail works fine, but
I use MH style mail folders instead of mbox.
