I (but I'm no expert) would guess that it's a dovecot-only format.
No support from most other tools,...

I'd guess you cannot use e.g. maildrop with it, or can you?

I personally was always a bit worried, when meta-data is put in the
mail... now AFAIU dbox does _not_ do this... and you can cleanly extract
each unmodified mail from the dbox fail (single or multi), right?

Cheers,
Chris.
