i'm switching to a newer machine (at last) in the
near future.

so going from 32 to 64 bit based system.

does mutt do anything different with messages and
file system layout or encoding?

i'm not doing any encryption or anything other than
storing files in the Maildir directories/subdirectories.

my guess is that all should be ok, but figured i
could ask the experts. :)

thanks! :)

No, I didn't experience any issue with mutt when switching.
(But I used mbox not Maildir.)

The only issue I met when I switched is vnstat which keeps
its data in a platform-dependent format.
