I've tried exmh, and while it is superior in nearly every way, it stores every message as a separate file and creates mailboxes by linking to the files in creative ways. This is probably reasonable enough once you get used to it, but personally I much prefer ELM's option to creating a number of flat files, one for each incoming user. I don't know, I just like to store messages in single files - it makes it a lot easier to browse through my mail using other utilities such as text editors.
