Hi,

I am wanting to write a MySQL backend for wu-imap.  Before I start, I would
like to get a bit of information, etc...

1)  What headers need to be stored in their own fields?
I am guessing that From, To and Message-ID, am I missing any?

2) Is it currently possible to have different mailbox formats for different
users, or is it all or nothing?


Reasons :
1) Speed
mbox is slow and not indexed

2) Reliability
mbox is not robust or stable

3) Distributed
If you have a MySQL backend you can have your mail store somewhere else.
This would probably also help with load and clustering


Regards
