            3 This script is intended to be used in conjunction with mswatch [0]. You
            4 can see an example ~/.mswatchrc in home/mswatchrc.
            5 
            6 You should change the paths according to your your setup.

           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.
