The inode issue isn't that big a deal as it can be deal with easily enough 
- it's just a number after all and limits can be changed.

More importantly ISPs tend not to run Exchange or similar systems.

The reason many ISPs use mbox is simply that it's the default option and 
once things have been there a while it's too much trouble to change them. 
Also it does work.
