The way I see it, mail is mail, and I should be able to read my mail with
minimal effort using the MUA I please.  Files which aren't mail don't belong in
the mail folder.

The fact that everyone does it wrong doesn't prevent KMail from doing the right
thing, which is IMO detecting if there's a mail or Mail folder and beginning to
use it.  KMail could set the example, and others could follow.  Or not.  But
what matters is that KMail gets it right.

About index files.  They aren't mail.  They don't belong in Mail and they can be
regenerated when a backup is restored.  They can be safely thrown away if a user
so chooses.  So why put them in mail.  A simple criteria: is it mail? Then off
to the Mail folder.  Is it NOT mail? then to another folder.
