Mail is effective with slashing movements and also with some kinds of arrowheads and spear tips. But when you look closely at Roman daggers of the first century like the Leeuwen one, you will see that the tip is bodkin shaped, ie square. That opens the mail when used correctly. It is true that most modern day Indian mail is not very effective against weaponry. However if you read several archaeological tests like for instance in the Vetera report, you see that the quality of Roman armor was very adept for the time.
