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.
