My opinion, based on my personal experience of the years of using
Voyager on a USB stick. Voyager forces OTFE and offers no option for
plain.

On a USB stick, or on your harddisk?

My USB stick gets corrupted often, because of electro-magnetical
influences. Maybe I travel too much, maybe I store it too close to my
mobile phone, many reasons. Recovering emails from a corrupted OTFE
database is *not* possible.

Of course, if you use OTFE on your harddisk, a problem is less likely
than on a USB stick. But what if a problem occurs? Have you ever had a
"damaged folder" during maintenance? Tell me you have recovered the
messages. In plain, it is no problem to import them from the .bin
file.
