DBMail 2.3 Stable Release - when is it scheduled?

Hi All,
DBMail 2.3 Stable Release - when is it scheduled?
Is any one really using DBMail in production environments? I read on the
WiKi that - it may be having Performance issues.
Can someone help?

Also, instead of using IMAP/POP to fetch the emails - is it possible to
query the database directly for an application to auto-fetch emails and
delete the emails?

It's not scheduled. It's done when it's done. Hopefully 2.4 will be
ready later this year, but it very much depends on available time on the
part of the developers (Jon and myself), testing and bug triage by other
volunteers, etc... Please remember no-one is being paid to work on
dbmail. All for love!

Every application has performance issues. I'm using 2.3 is my own
in-house production setup, and so are more people afaik.

It's possible in dbmail-2.2, but exceedingly difficult in 2.3+. Imap and
pop are currently the only supported interfaces for retrieving messages.
A http/RESTfull interface is in the works, but not yet ready for primetime.

Along these lines, I'm curious if there are plans to put an "official"
api to libdbmail, such that other applications could link to it and
leverage it's underlying changes/upkeep? I don't plan on that myself,
but it might be useful (someone on #dbmail was asking about doing
something the other day and that would have been a perfect solution for
what he wanted to do).
