I think we are miscommunicating.
I'm not supposing anything about mail user agents.
I'm just trying to explain why mbox files are incompatible with the way
most people deal with their mails nowadays. It's not without reason that
Maildirs have replaced mboxes (and IMAP has replaced POP). I understand
that the limitations of mbox files are apparently not a problem for you
personally.
More generally, I'm trying to explain why adding a support for Maildirs to
Rmail might increase its adoption.
