The DBMail project ( http://www.dbmail.org/ ) is interesting and we
looked into it in detail to try to address this exact questio.
However, the last time I looked, 9-12 months ago, it was too immature
and lacked significant features compared to UW IMAP.
Presumably one could write a driver for UW IMAP that uses a MySQL (or
other) database and that could be clustered, etc.
I took a look and it seems to be very active. I'm not sure I want to
have to study it in the kind of detail needed to assess a migration but
it's definitely not a dead project either. What version did you look at
and what things were they missing before?
That part about (Mark ;-) writing a UW driver to a MySQL database
sounded interesting. Of course what I'm hoping to hear is that I've
missed something in my analysis and there is a way to avoid a single
point of failure in the IMAP server for direct attached storage. Or at
least confirmation that, at this time, that is the way things are and
there is no good alternative approach for a UW based system. Of course
"good" is open to interpretation and depends on the trade offs you can
live with.
