Hello,
My experience with dbmail is limited; I have toyed around with it and it
seems good. I really like what I've seen so far. However, I am planning to
deploy dbmail for a service that has some special requirements, which I am
curious to get comments about.
I want to be able to allow a client to empty his account through POP3, yet
leaving the messages available through webmail (IMAP). Perhaps also having a
rule that automatically deletes messages that has been fetch through POP3
when they reach a certain age or disk space.
Users can configure their POP clients to either remove the email (empty
his account) or leave the mail on the server until he deletes it
locally. This would solve their problems and yours re: webmail interfaces.
The other alternative is everyone converts from POP to ssl-imap, but
that's going to be a lot harder for them to understand than a simple
checkbox configuration.
But this solution should work for every/any imap/web+pop combination out
there.
