Do you have an imap daemon on your current system? Try something
like
imapsync if so.
Yes, my current email server does a lot of imap. It does not have any
command line
tools. It's Mac OS9. Good thing it's been rock solid for 7 years.
Down side, no command
line tools to do custom stuff, and running that kind of thing over
imap protocol is to resource
intensive.
Is this what you are referring to when you say imapsync?

That looks like it would do it by it's description.
Can you update a view? That table (dbmail_users) has a few columns
that update regularly (last_login time, and quota usage). If so, and
you handle all user creation yourself, I'd guess probably so.
I don't have a lot of experience here but I understand it's possible
to update a view but
probably not what I would want to do. I want to store user/pass info
else where so mail
accounts are created for every user of my framework. The info is
already there so I'd like to
use it. And I don't want to go outside to ldap or anything of the
sort. Stored procedures
would probably work out. Another option would be to just use dbmail
for my auth but
still store parameters in other tables and/or db's. That would work
well I think.
