Hi again all.
I was thinking (all run in terror!). Considering MySQL has a "read-only"
table type that supports compression, would it make sense to offer the
option of archiving a whole bunch of messages into a seperate table?
I've heard that PostgreSQL has something similar.
It might allow a lot of places that keep all their mail from the year
dot (one of my clients has users with 5 GB of mail each stored on our
Cyrus IMAP server. Damned flakey thing it is too) while not having to
constantly monitor their mail store and go through messy upgrades and,
as a result, scheduled downtime for adding more space for mail.
