Recommendation.  The Maildir format really works well, has several
implementations already available in open-source, has minimal overhead,
handles locking and concurrent access well, and is generally good for this
sort of thing.

Given the architecture of KMail, it seems quite feasible and normal to
support (natively) multiple folder types.

regards,
Christian.

Writing import and export tools will probably be the easiest part of that.
Using something more like a real database is indeed a good idea. If done
the right way, KMail will not only be able to handle much more mail
faster, it will be *much* safer. At least this would be the case with a
real RDBMS, I hope all the advantages are also in the "built-in databases".

 Daniel
