With dbox yes, you can just ignore the error. Maildir probably would

Why the difference? I can see a big deal for mbox - but why Maildir?
It's just because of how the code was written. In maildir code if
fdatasync_path() returns -1, the code continues returning -1 which
eventually causes the entire operation to fail and an error be returned
to user.
With dbox the code just didn't bother checking if fdatasync_path()
returned -1 or 0. With mbox it never even calls that function.
So if dbox doesn't check - is that a "critical" function (I'm not even
sure what it does)? Is there any reason I shouldn't ignore the dbox
errors and continue trying it for a new server?
