As far as I know, no, it's not the default, but, since I have more than
2 gig of mail in some areas, putting that into mbox format would just
not work, so I was using MH, and that stopped working, so I moved to
Maildir.  If you are telling me that that is gone, then I am most sad.

Yes, that allows you to put your maildir mail in one location, but it
doesn't allow for delete/expunge, even if you set it up entirely from
within evolution.

Not a problem.  Maildir is broken (delete/expunge) doesn't work locally,
or remotely (via IMAP) in the version that I'm using, and I was afraid,
that, instead of fixing it, they simply removed it, as they had from
being available as a possible format for incoming mail, I'm sorry I
misunderstood you.

Hrm ... I send so much mail, that every time I add something to the
outbox, it tried all the queued things in the outbox already, so ... I'd
not noticed the lack of pause/re-send.

Yes, I've used 1.4.1, on up through what I'm currently using now.
