[citation needed].

i didn't say the mailbox was owned by me.  our system has
~1.2m messages in ~1k folders spread among ~100 users.

i would say to claim that mailboxes are complicated you'd need to also
claim that file and directories are complicated.  with nupas, if you have
two mail boxes and you want to combine them, you simply "cp b/* a;
rm -r b".  or in ned,
	g/./s a
	g/./d
