Yes. And it is realy cool, if you need to modify or parse messages outside

ReiserFS with ZERO your file on corruption which is realy bad for mbox.
You may encounter file locking problems IF YOU must access the Mailfolder
over NFS if using mbox (they are read-only).
So I go for Maildir which had no problems since ages and gaved me no
problems while migration to courier-imap.
Also is Maildir better, if you need daily incremental backups...
I run 4 incremental backups per day! With Mailboxes impossibel since
this would backup over 400 GByte all 6 hours insteed of 10 MByte.
My FileServer @home stores 5850 Mailfolders (including YYYY-MM archives
of over 150 Mailinglists from the last 8 years) with OVER 7.55 million
messages... Try to make an incremental backup of this!
You will shoot you.
