Yes, nnml seems to be a more popular backend than nnfolder. Another
popular backend is nnimap, for those who have this kind of server.
And then there is nnmaildir, which has its own advantages.
Personally, I use nnimap for some accounts and nnml for others. I've
been thinking about migrating to nnmaildir, but somehow the courage
is lacking :-|

Sure. But in case people find our thread they will see that they
don't /need/ to migrate, if they don't want to. That's why I wrote
