Changes since beta7:
- Added a new "raw" mail storage backend which allows opening files/streams as single mail mailboxes. deliver uses this now instead of opening the incoming mail as a mbox. So deliver should be now faster and it doesn't anymore remove Dovecot's private mbox headers if you're not using mbox.
Does this allow for the potential of a SQL backend?
SQL backend has been possible for a long time and there's already a kind-of working version available: http://dovecot.org/patches/mail-sql.tar.gz
Probably doesn't compile with latest v1.1 anymore though.
Hey that's cool - didn't realise this was available . Timo what is your own opinion of sql based mail storage vs maildir (or dbox)? When is it a good idea?
