looking for email database

Tags:

Hi Folks,

A while back I came across a pretty neat piece of open source software
providing a database for large scale mail storage, searching, and
retrieval - with interfaces to all the standard MTAs and both POP and
IMAP interfaces to the database.

For the life of me, I can't remember the name, and can't seem to find it
via google.

Does this ring any bells for anyone? Can somebody point me at it?

Thanks very much,

Miles

I was wondering about it some time ago. Took a look around on the web
and reading some posts in [1] and [2] made me feel I was looking for
trouble if I was to abandon the standard maildir on a decent
filesysstem setup (in those posts most people claim with good
arguments that storing emails in a generic sql DB (like mysql, pg)
would make a lot of simple tasks much slower) Anyway I have no
personal experience to share - just thought you might be interested
