     10 ## What does it do?
     11 
     12 This script checks for changes in a dbox[1], which is a mailbox format
     13 introduced by the dovecot IMAP server[2] for handling mail storage more
     14 efficiently.
     15 
     16 When new mail is added to the dbox, watch-mdbox receives an event through
     17 inotify, parses the path and prints out the notification mswatch needs
     18 for starting the synchronisation specifically on this mailbox.
