Hi,
some reading points ;-) :
http://www.courier-mta.org/mbox-vs-maildir/
http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html
http://wiki.mutt.org/index.cgi?MuttFaq/Maildir

This is all very pro maildir but couldn't find any pro mbox now.
Also have a look at the shares maildir feature if using imap with
multiple users accessing one mail dump.
