I've made the apparent mistake of creating a hundred or so mbox's where I cache the related messages, based on a person or org. Finding something requires the mind, which is a terrible waste. But the granularity is better than one big mbox.
A killer app would be a tool which could look through any of these mboxes for what you want!

One of my pet peeves with NeXTmail is that I absolutely despise the concept of bunging all your mail into a single mbox file. This gets very silly very quickly if you have an mbox of say, one volume of the Space Digest archives. What use is there in indexing when all 999 issues are in the same file? You could almost as well you an editor and do a FIND...
So I would vote for a Mailbox class that allows one to translate to some other format, say Emacs Bags and such.
