It's not the case. You could repair anything while running the daemon
and while *not* reconnecting any clients!
Just wait a couple of seconds in Thunderbird et al. (not Outlook of
course ;)
You only would need the original raw mail files and directory structure
for it, nothing else!
E.g. we offer to our customers archiving their messages to dvd and
*back* if they want!
BTW I won't miss the possibility of fast searching through thousands of
messages,
so I think it's worth!
