Hi Anton,
As Maildir puts everything in separate dirs/files, it seems to me that it place a higher burden to the efficiency of the underlying filesystem. Or is this a wrong assumption?
No, it is correct.
So it seems to me, when deleting one message (= one file) is less costly then modifying an mbox containing 10,000 messages.
True.
otoh, if only messages got added (like on a mailing list archive) adding things at the end, and modifying the index is less costly than creating separate files each time.
True again :-)
But ofcourse, i could completely mistaken regarding the innerworkings of mboxes ;-)
No, you are correct. Those are the issues :-) - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.
