I always just set up imap. That's a way-better experience if you ever want to switch mail clients and it completely abstracts away mailbox format. Plus the mail clients are much less likely to wipe out your mail (the imap server is another story). IMAP is supported by any full-featured mail client - about the only ones that won't support it are very minimal terminal-based clients. The other thing I do is backup my maildir. That is of course much easier to do if it is in fact in maildir format since creation of new files is trivially handled by any incremental backup tool.
