I've recently started testing dbmail, and I'm really impressed.  I have
over 15,000 messages in a folder with no observable performance
degradation.  Try doing that with mbox or maildir!  Gmail-style mailbox
organization is suddenly a reality with snappy searches and
instantly-updated search folders.  Sweet!

I have a couple of questions, though.

Question 1:
----------------
The first regards dbmail-export.  I found a message in the archives from
last July, describing my problem exactly:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.mail.imap.dbmail/5582/focus=5604.  I was
wondering if anything more ever came of that thread.

I can send my own sample output if necessary, but it looks exactly like
what's already in the archive.  All of the messages start with a "From
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Oct 11 13:06:24 2005" line, followed directly by the
message body, followed by the rest of the headers.  Not exactly a
typical mbox... ;-)


Question 2:
----------------
Does anyone have extra administrative scripts that they've written and
care to share?  Or convenient (python) scripting shortcuts?  I'd like a
quick script, for example, to run daily via cron, that will keep my
archives sorted by age in years (+365 days, +730 days, +1095days, etc). 

Surely someone has done some python scripting of dbmail admin tasks, and
it would be great not to have to start completely from scratch (lazy
scripting newb here).  ;-)  It would be really cool to have a wiki page
of contributed scripts!

Some of this is motivated by the lack of granularity of client-side
"search folders," so I hope server-side vfolders will be a part of
dbmail soon!



Thanks everyone.
