Hmm.

Just because Microsofts way of usage of flat file database sucks does
not mean any usage of flat files is bad or evil or slow, if done right.

Have a look at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/dbox 

But as I wrote before, it is quite easy to convert from one format to
the other: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat
