Good question what am I doing with them? The project calls for triggering other database/shell script functions based upon the 1) content of subject line and 2) GPS data contained in image

I believe that messages are put together in a rather complex structure of attachments, headers, & body. I replied previously on the subject, but I have to admit I know very little about it. I think it's called "mime chunking" or "single instance storage." http://dbmail.10918.n7.nabble.com/Newbie-Question-single-instance-store-for-attachmens-td13048.html As for my question about root level access, I believe a more serious problem is that there is nothing in the IMAP protocol that allows for cross user searching & manipulation. Am I wrong? Does DBMail provide for this? Jeff, if people aren't reading or sending messages, what are you doing with your messages if you don't mind my asking? Thanks.

Are the individual message parts, I.e. subject body email address saved in a mysql record with fields for each part? The intention in this project is not to use DBMail/iredmail as an email messaging platform but as a data store only. People will not be reading or sending email via this particular setup. The content of sujbect and attached image trigger events only. No bi-directional messaging at all.
