Thunderbird

i have *any* message i ever sent or received until now starting with
2003 in a folder-structure, search is full indexed and fast, eahc folder
is one mbox and at the end of the day mbox is more effective than maildir

5 GB in 3379 files, this year around 100000 messages

why mbox is more efefctive?

if you at least have subfolders for each yaer you normally do not
touch and change any previous ones - so they are unchanged and rsync
is very fast because it transfers differences - i sync my complete
prfile each day from my homeserver to my office wrokstation with
rsync and it takes around one minute with *all my data* not only
the mozilla profiles
