[Dovecot] mdbox

[Daniel L. Miller]

  Reviewing some mailing list archives and the wiki, I still don't have 
a real clear picture of why I'd want to use mdbox.  What I've taken from 
the info I've reviewed says mdbox is more complicated (than sdbox), has 
greater potential for breakage (simply because it's more complex), and 
has a theoretical performance impact depending on the exact 
filesystem/hardware used.

Was that an accurate summary?  Is mdbox something that was desired to 
solve a particular problem?
