I think InnoDB is the default with MySQL now. Although MyISAM was the previous default, I ( and others I know ) have had data corruption issues with MyISAM tables with applications that heavily load MySQL. Also, it is possible that there would be some contention or blocking issues since MyISAM is table-locked not row-locked like InnoDB. That said, it should not make a difference for RoundCube. > the reason being that InnoDB uses a lot of memory even when is in > idle and the machine on which the webmail is hosted has very > limited resources You could make some changes to your my.cnf to limit the memory issues, although memory is the thing that makes a database system go more than anything else. I personally use PostgreSQL with RC, and it is on a separate host from any of the RC instances I have deployed.
