I exclude Database.noindex from my Time Machine dumps or backups take
far too long. When I had to restore one of my computers from backup,
the lack of that directory meant that it had to refetch lots of mail.
OK, fine -- but it seemed to lose track of the files that were there; as
a result, Library/Application Support/MailMate was more than twice as
large as on the machine next to it. That isn't a trivial problem for
me; I'm taking about 45 GB versus 112 GB... (Right now, I'm deleting
the MailMate directory; I'll copy over the 45 GB one when that's done.)
