A discussion about switching to maildir as default format is
premature. We'll be open to hear the pros and cons sometimes in the
next development cycle after we have more experience.<br>

I disagree. I don’t think most people care what the
underlying storage format is, and so once we believe maildir
is at an acceptable level of stability and performance, we
should just switch to it automatically. (Only for new
accounts at first, so that we don’t hang people’s machines on
upgrade. ;) But perhaps we could also provide an “Upgrade
storage format” button that had a progress bar and stuff in a
later version.)
