"The only other common format for storing mails locally is mbox. But it stores all messages in a single file, which is unacceptable if you’d like to access them with regular tools."

disagree: mbox is absolutely not bad. I keep my entire mail archive (~20 years) with it. The largest file is 2GB, and I can read it easily with `mutt` and `grepmail`.
Having a single file is much more efficient than storing millions of small text files on disk.
