NetWin Database Mode (g_maildir_netwin "true").

Warning! This feature is in ALPHA test stage, do not use at this time!

How it works:

Instead of storing each mail message as an individual file messages are stored in 'bucket' files which contain many messages, an index file contains a list of the contents of all of the bucket files.

So a folder with 100 mail messages in it might look like this:

28/09/2005 05:15 p.m. 1,120 bkt.idx
28/09/2005 05:15 p.m. 0 bkt.lock
28/09/2005 05:15 p.m. 7,578 bkt_0.bkt
28/09/2005 05:15 p.m. 4,450 bkt_0.head
26/09/2005 05:09 p.m. 442,871 bkt_1127711348.bkt
26/09/2005 05:08 p.m. 31,668 bkt_1127711348.head

When a bucket file is partly empty due to deleted messages it is re-written.

New mesesages always go to bucket zero.
