While I agree in theory that the "MailDir" format is superior, this pro-
bably would become the main show-stopper: I have zillions of "mbox" type
mail folders  spread all over my  home directory  which I'd have to con-
vert.  Well, I think a simple "gawk" script could do the trick, but this
would have to be done in addition to the migration proper.   By the way,
how does "NotMuch" choose the file names?

Is "POP3" supported?   Decades ago I opted for "POP3" because "IMAP" (at
least then) was unable to do things the way I wanted them done.  I'm not
even sure I could still find  the reasons for this decision  in my notes
or documentation ... :-/

Sincerely,
  Rainer
