With NFS, mdbox can be a lot faster solution, but it does require backups. Mostly because \Seen flag is lost if you lose all indexes. The actual mails can be reconstructed.

I'm facing some issues on mdbox based backups. Backups are failing with dbox corruption messages. SiS is the greatest advantage though. However backups integrity is very important. If SiS/Deduplication is not a requirement stick to Maildir.

I am wondering if changing to dbox would be beneficial? It can be faster when a user deletes or moves a large number of messages. One reason why I migrated a few sites is that when reporting issues with maildir on this list, there seems to be lack of interest in fixing them. In that regard, it can be seen as a safer choice.
