of MessagesAsFiles
, where
each directory
is a
-Mailbox, and each
file is a message
. Filenames are integers which are incremented
as each message is
added to the mailbox
.
+The MailBox format simply consists
of one directory per MailBox
, in which
each [Email]
is stored in one
file. The files use sequential numbers
as their names, with
each new
message added to the MailBox getting the next highest number. That's all there is to it -- very simple and hence convenient
.
-There's not much else to it, it's a very simple (and hence convenient) format.
