For me _personally_ two things speak against using it: a) To be honest, "you must not lose the dbox index files, they can't be regenerated without data loss"[0] made me a bit scared ;-) b) ext* has no integrity checking (by hash sums) so I used to create my own that puts SHA512 hashes into the inodes of files (as USER_XATTRS). This of course, works only when you have a storage format where files don't change anymore once written,... which can't work with formats having multiple mails per file. Thanks, Chris. btw: What are the actual advantages of sdbox over maildir? [0] http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/dbox
