That's an excellent question. I've seen a lot of people on this list implementing James with a DB backend and I've been asking myself if there was any advantage to it. I haven't been able to think of one and I see maintaining another application as a rather large drawback. I don't even have the time to regularly check James to make sure it's still running or try and figure out why the messages aren't being removed from the inboxes even though I don't have express set to leave messages on the server.
I would love to hear some opinions on the pros and cons. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Shoemaker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "James Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2002 11:13 AM Subject: Re: Cannot retrieve messages after reboot > Eric > > You should ask for your money back :) > > Its not really too big of a problem for me since I have all of 2 users.
