Even Unix people must have heard the Access is a desktop application
with sucky locking and reliabilty, totally unsuitable high rates of
simultaneous access by even just 10 users, which isn't many compared
to mailservers with 100's or 1000's of user accounts.

hmm, is there an echo in here? vbg

but that doesn't remove all, or any, locking requirements.
Access will only be useable if you have very low rates of
simultaneous access, noting that Imail needs access for LDAP/pop3
logins, SMTP AUTH, web messaging logins, at least.
You didn't mention how many mail accounts you have or plan to have,
but Access is probably going to cost you a lot more than what you
saved not going with SQL Server.
But SQL is expensive for Internet usage. I think some people on the
this list have gotten Imail working into odbc/MySQL, ( personally
would like to see a how-to for Imail + Postgres).
