Hi,
I have been wondering why GM uses a Flat file database to store e-mails? All details except the actual mails seem to be using the MySQL database.
What are the benefits of using a flat file database?
To me it would seem more logical to have all data (prefs and mail) in the MySQL database as this would make backup, server load balancing, MySQL mirroring on another server and reinstallment and server moves a lot easier.
Most other mail packages seem to use a MySQL solution.
thanks
