mboxes are generally horrible for interactive read-write use due to locking. Describe our parallel behavior with mutt, since writing mail can take a long while and being able to read results as they're written is nice. We'll also use a gzipped mboxrd for the import example, since we can decompress gzipped mboxrds automatically, now.
