Folder Format for my setup



Hi all

I've read about Mbox and Maildir at the Mutt wiki. I'd apreciate more personal opinions on which format could be better for my case in particular:

I've just installed Gentoo Linux and now I intend to setup a mail system with Mutt. My CPU is an AMD Sempron 1500 mhz, 256 RAM. My filesystem is ReiserFS 3.6.

Usually, I receive about 20 to 60 messages per day, depending on how active I am at mailing lists.

I'd like to know, for example, wheter there are features that don't exist or don't work well with one of the two folder formats, if one of them have theoretically better performance in general, what is the best format to manage messages (move, copy, save...), either using Mutt or other programs.

Is it true that Maildir has better performance while loading folders? And about file corruption consequences for each one?
Many thanks

Cleverson
