Not realy. The database only holds redundant information of the mailheader. The E-Mail ist stored almost unchanged as plain text file (one mail in one file - similar to maildir). the loss of mail is nealy impossible (assuming a valid backup is availible). The database can simple be rebuild by a command. Only the acl and the quota stuff can get lost on a heavy database damage.
