Rejoyed too soon! :-( Unfortunately it doesn't fix my (maybe mbox related) index.cache errors reported back in May: http://markmail.org/message/xhxorbutl3encr2d
I know that Timo suggests to switch away from mbox but unfortunately this is rather challenging for me. Switching to maildir results in millions of files and this overwhelmes my backup system.
I reset kmail 1.13.5 to use maildir (mdir) format message storage several years ago.
My email corpus is north of 20Gb, and amanda has no problems backing it up. Its been doing it well enough I can do a bare metal recovery and have.
Sounds like you need a better backup proggy. Amanda, FWIW, is a wrapper, most commonly using the current version of tar, can also use dump, but I consider tars file at a time granularity a huge advantage since it can also recover something you accidentally deleted without overwriting everything.
mdbox also does not qualify since AFAIK there is no python or perl library support for manipulating mdbox mailboxes.
:-(
