Most useful queries and updates involve root access, and client level IMAP root access is a serious security problem. Is it even possible in DBmail? How would you do global queries over the entire data set for all users?

A lesser problem is that a lot of people find IMAP quite an ugly language for data queries, but I suppose it can be solved by wrapping in some sort of API. My gut tells me that having low level access to sql is always going to be more efficient and easier to code, but perhaps not for DBMail's data structure.

>>sure, it is do-able but it is pretty dumb use imap-libraries and fetch the recostructed message with them that is a standarized >>protocol, the low-level storage of a de-duplicating mailserver is usually not your businesss
