   I don’t store mail directly in any MUA-specific format. Instead. I run an   
   IMAP server (Dovecot) on my main machine, storing all my messages in a   
   simple, well-understood, text-based format (maildir). That way I can   
   easily switch MUAs, and point each one at the same IMAP server. I could   
   also access that IMAP server from alternative machines on my LAN.
