It's only for mdbox because they have a known upper size
(mdbox_rotate_size). With mbox the only possibility would be to let
admin specify how large the files should be preallocated to. And how
would the admin know? And should different mailboxes have different
preallocated sizes? For example "Drafts" mailbox is unlikely to ever
grow very large. And in any case, if you care about performance mbox
isn't really the best choice.
