I wonder, why Evolution can't store emails simply in mbox or Maildir format? Classic email clients like mutt do this and work quite well. Of course, some additional files containing indexes etc. can and probably should be used to speed up access to messages, but at least the basic email storage would be compatible. Thunderbird seems to use (or at least have used in the past, I haven't used Thunderbird for a long time) this approach, its mail storage is basically mbox files plus index files. As far as I remember, old versions of Evolution (I mean those used in GNOME 2) used similar approach too. I guess Maildir is more efficient than mbox, so nowadays rather Maildir should be used. But I think that storing messages in a completely internal database format is not a very good idea. -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa r...@rafa.eu.org -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub." _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
