There are many different physical formats for MailBox~es, which typically use some variation on the following schemes:
A FlatFile:
- All the messages in a MailBox are store
in a single file.
+ All the messages in a MailBox are stored
in a single file.
[BSD]'s and [Solaris]' [MBox] format is the most common example.
One file per [Email]:
[MH] and MailDir store each [Email] in a file of its own.
This scales much better than the typical FlatFile format, as it is easier to skip from message to message.
