All my software development is done in J2EE/EJB for large web portals, and the rule of thumb for speed and scalability to to keep the bare minimum in a database, its a huge performance bottleneck and the hardest part of a system to scale. Might work ok for small sites though, but who can be sure their site will stay small. > The only problem with the Courier-code is, to get server > side searches running... Yeah, searches are a client side feature, and should be so. The searches may be a limitation for sqwebmail, but because the sqwebmail system churns out customisable HTML, it would be very easy to tie in the power of shell based searches into sqwebmail, and have very powerful searches without the complexity of building SQL statements.
