I would like to develop a new mailbox format for a very specialized application. Can anyone point me in the appropriate direction to get started writing a plugin?
More detail for anyone interested: I need to store mail in a format that's quickly accessible and modifiable to an external process. This is for a very low-volume mail system (averaging less than 50 messages stored at any one time) that needs very good indexing. I need to create new mailboxes on the fly and perform fast searches across all the mailboxes. I intend to store all the messages in an SQL database. Any help getting started interfacing with dovecot (other than reading through _all_ the source code) would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Sacha
