Hi Peer,

We have switched our mailbox storage format from maildir to mdbox!

Maildir is a disaster. (too many small files) After the migration to 
mdbox the performance has improved significantly.

Conclusion: mdbox is great and much better performance than maildir! I 
would also recommend ext4.

Best regards,

Morten
