Yes, and Maildir is the intended solution to that limit, because 
compacting mbox files is an expensive operation, and incremental backup 
of mbox files is difficult or impossible depending on your backup software.

Note that you *can* use a folder larger than 4GB if it is IMAP, and only 
if it is IMAP.
