Yeah, I don't like "mfolder" either.  In the --thread{,s} case,
consistency seemed worth it to me because either one sounded okay, and a
one character difference is easy to not notice.  But in this case, I
think --output is the better name, so if we're dropping one, I'd vote to
cast out --mfolder.

Using MFOLDER rather than PATH as the metavariable seems a bit confusing
to me because the target isn't a directory for --format values other
than "maildir".
