IMHO ... Maildir is a better format.
Really? I do not think so! Having half of million (small) files in one directory is killer... which eats caches and slow down access time. Even listing such directory (without reading file contents) consume lot of CPU cycles...
so what?
- modern filesystems
- dovecot's caching
313k mails in single mailbox and no problems at all.
Still I want read/write access to storage and want to use mbox as storage (also for easier backup and copy)...
And my question was how to properly read and write from/to mbox files which are used by dovecot.
