Perhaps the headers and other information that you would index
be kept in the database and the body of the message stored
somewhere else, perhaps even as files.
It seems that this is what Zimbra does. Check out my blog post
here:
For IMAP, "SQL just sucks"
<http://deflexion.com/2006/06/for-imap-sql-just-sucks>
especially the comment from KevinH of Zimbra, which includes
this:
"It's true that as a mailstore SQL sucks. Databases are not
designed to store large blobs of data. However in Zimbra's case
messages aren't stored in the database. Only *meta* data is
stored behind a SQL interface. [...]"
I hope this is useful. Thanks for inspiring interesting
discussion Marc!
