Depends on the fact that ext3 allows multiple types of journalling I
suppose - in particular doing meta and actual data journalling.

My inbox has several thousand messages at the moment (from this month) but
the mbox with the highest number contains nearly 6000 (lkml from this
month also). I need to add a few new filters for stuff I've done recently
but in general my home mail setup has been running unmodified since 1998.
It's getting on for time I sorted out my home IMAP/LDAP etc. when I have
some time to actually do it :-)
