The advantage of nnfolder is that it uses one mbox file per group,
which means that you can read these folder with just about any mail
reader. The disadvantage is that these files can grow rather big,
which slows down just about everything. nnfolder does not maintain an
overview file, and it wouldn't really help much if it did.
