I am needing a "refresher course" on mail clients that use the .mbox format to store emails. It's been years since I've used this kind of mail client.
Is there any "dangers" I need to know about? Like, keeping the mailbox a certain size? or a certain amount of emails per folder etc?
You can't sync your users diretory on a filesystem level over many maschines, e.g unison will not work. You don't have that problem with maildir. Also here's the danger of file coruption.

The last client I used, before I went FULL TIME LINUX, was Eudora 7.1 on Windows 10. And you had to keep the .mbx files TINY TINY TINY or else, you'd face corruption.
I always go offline, and then compact my folders after I get done reading emails.
Right now my "2024 Archives" folder is at:
