IMP works with postgresql too, which is far superior. why use a toy database when you can run a real one that's easier to administer, and is just as fast (actually, many times faster!) in real-world usage? mysql is blazingly fast in one particular situation: read-only single-user access that only executes very simple SELECT queries. if that description matches your needs then you might consider using it...but when you need to do anything more complicated, it's much slower than postgres. btw, mysql's lack of transactions rules it out for any e-commerce application...no matter what the mysql docs/faq tries to tell you, that can not be emulated in the application layer. craig -- craig sanders <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GnuPG Key: 1024D/CD5626F0 Key fingerprint: 9674 7EE2 4AC6 F5EF 3C57 52C3 EC32 6810 CD56 26F0

Re: web mail without local mail
I think it had to do with Address Book functions. If I remember correctly PostgreSQL allowed a little better address book functions. If the system's mostly for folks to read mail while out of the office, either database would probably be fine.

Re: web mail without local mail
Yes, using it for the last two years. Loads are light, max of a user every day. It is used by staff members when away from their desks, or traveling. I see no reason why it shouldn't scale, and it handles mailboxes (mine) of over 6MB.
