Using the Dovecot LDA will improve POP3/IMAP performance, as the index
files are being updated on delivery instead of login time. So it sure
makes sense to combine the LDA with the POP3/IMAP daemon. An as soon as
those are combined, the actual mailbox format (mbox/maildir/dbox) is just
an internal interface for dovecot.
