Just remember that if you lose the index files there's no easy way to
recover the mailbox. Well, except by copying the files to maildir..
I'm not sure if I should try to make cydir anything else than a
benchmark format or a simple example for writing mail storage backends.
I'm hoping that dbox will be practically as fast in all situations.
One advantage of cydir over dbox was mentioned by Mark above re
incremental backups - with dbox, you'd still have to backup the entire
mailbox file, while with cydir, you'd only have to copy newer messages.
I think making cydir a real, viable replacement for standard maildir
would be a good thing...
