So ... Re: Maildirs in Debian
Hello!
It was a very interesting discussion about Mail Storage efficiency and
finally made me look into ext3 and reiser - very cool.

So I would like to come back to the primary issue:
I would like to get a couple of people from here supporting a Debian
Policy Proposal, where a standard way of expressing the installers
preference about mbox or Maildir inbox delivery (system mailbox) gets
drafted.
If there is no better proposal it could be simply a file:
/etc/default/maildelivery
which could just contain one of the verbs:
Maildir
mbox
MH
Any packages treating with system mailbox handling, should use the
first word in the first line of this file, to determine how to
configure themselves.
Now: I suppose the proposal should be acompanied by a transition
guide, where all configuration issues with the most standard/frequent
packages are treated.
If anybody is willing to help get this going, please mail me off-list.
Thanks in Advance,
Jorge-León
