Why? Well, we have our reasons. Particularly because
we want an efficient way to handle millions of
messages, plus the ability to search/manipulate/data
mine through them using specific applications.
I hate to disappoint you, but mail storage as raw files is probably more "efficient" than using MySQL, but YMMV. I've found qmail with Courier-IMAP to be so fast that I can't really say I'd want to try using a different back-end at all. If you end up with any benchmarks, feel free to post them.
