Because it restricts you to using dbmail stuff. Personally I'm very
happy with using maildirs and importing only select mailheaders in a
custom sql database so I can still have a useful adressbook and good
search options.
Also the claim on the dbmail homepage that a database is faster then
parsing a filesystem is not true, it depends very much on what exactly
you're parsing and in a lot of cases a filesystem will be a lot
faster even.
