You're also concentrating on only maildir format. Yes, there the limit is 26 keywords and I don't have plans to improve it. But for example with dbox format there is no such limit.
Cool! But three dbox questions:
- Do you consider dbox to be ready for prime time, in a production environment?
I'm not aware of any bugs, but I'm also not aware of any real users..
- Related to first question - do you foresee any major changes to its internals, that would result in potentially painful updates in the future, for anyone desiring to use it in production now?
No.
- Where is documentation on configuration settings? There is nothing on the wiki under Mailbox location configuration where maildir and mbox are specifically discussed, I only found one page where it is mentioned (Mailbox formats), and its own page, but there is nothing about actual configuration settings.
The rotation settings are currently do nothing, since currently it supports only one file = one message. So there are currently no dbox settings.
The only caveat I can surmise is that, since nothing else [currently] supports dbox format except dovecot, you'd have to use dovecot's LDA - which is not a problem, actually desirable for index updates, but it would be good to see some official docs on how to set it [dbox] up correctly.
I'm not really sure what it would say. :)
