Many users would notice if all their mbox and/or maildir files 
disappeared and if the existing tools they use on those files (like 
vi and emacs) are no longer useful.

I prefer a solution that does not require users to store their mail in 
a MySQL database.

It is not the overhead of running a database that I am concerned about 
but rather the change in storage format.
