[Dovecot] direct access or local IMAP access?

Hello,

Thanks to much help from Timo Sirainen, I now have a running dovecot on my Mac, that works great both with mutt and Mail.app.

I'm going to have a lot of mail stored there (about 40000 messages for 1.4GB in 30 folders), and I was wondering if it was better (in terms of performance and stability) to directly access the mail using the maildir hierarchy, or access it using local IMAP.

Thanks a lot,

Alan Schmitt
