Right. I have used both Maildir and mbox, and I would'nt recommend
using mbox if there is a chance of simultaneous read/write. However,
my case is different. Im planning to backup my emails. I think
backing up emails to a single mbox, is more portable and almost all
Mail applications can import a mbox file.

mbox is a crappy format, not the least of which it precludes random

Use
maildir instead.
