what is cydir? dovecot suppurt cydir format or it's cyrus speed? if it's dovecot cydir support so fast will the v.x.y be ever so fast? or it'd be better to use/switch to cydir?
It's a simple mailbox format that is somewhat similar to Cyrus mailbox format. It completely relies on having all the mailbox metadata in Dovecot's index files, and currently it can't even rebuild the indexes if they get lost/corrupted.
I was planning on keeping it mostly for testing/benchmarking purposes. I'm hoping that the upcoming dbox rewrite will have at least as good performance as Cydir.
