<span class="gmail_quote"></span>Maildir, its easier to export and can support hardlinks. What kind of
optimizations did you have in mind? What's the downside of mbox? <br>
Problem is that version 1.0 is only test release for now.<div><span class="e" id="q_1051581af67b613f_1"><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 7/14/05, <b class="gmail_sendername">Timo Sirainen</b> <<a href="mailto:tss@iki.fi" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
