Status in VM (View Mail) for Emacs: Confirmed

Bug description:
VM uses mboxes, i.e. a single file for storing all messages of a folder. 

With attachments folders can grow quickly and slows down VM as it always reads the whole folder into a Emacs buffer.

With maildir only the the index/summary needs to fit into a Emacs buffer.
