  > Do you have multiple high quality implementations for supporting mbox or maildir in nearly every language and framework in active use today? Yes. They're builtin to Python's stdlib [0]. There's dozens for JS. Part of the PHP stdlib. [1] A number for Rust. Several for Go. And so on, and so forth.

    > Part of the PHP stdlib. That's an IMAP library, not mbox/maildir, and it's part of an extension, not the standard library.
