Although dbmail is hardly optimized for such tools as they rely heavily on imap searching, you might check out offlineimap, which is a robust imap sync tool.

But this really is a flawed approach wrt dbmail. Using imap to sync dbmail storages is a highly convoluted approach to database replication. Because that's what is really is; you'd be using imap to replicate the database. Yek.

What I would like to be able to do is at least one level
above database replication:

I would like 2 DBMail servers to be in sync irrespective
of their RDBMS engines etc.

Apparently, the magic google keyword is 'IMAP replication'
with which I found this link.

http://www-uxsup.csx.cam.ac.uk/~dpc22/cyrus/replication.html

It is for Cyrus, and apparently it is a private code tree, but
AFAIC it is the kind of thing best describes what I need.

Hard to help you, if you don't say what database, and what database
version, you are using. MySQL  supports replication:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Replication.html

I don't know much about postgre,. I found this on the web:

http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/pgreplication/projdisplay.php

but it sounds more like a project for future support. Maybe somebody
in the list can help us on pg.

Hi,

This might be somewhat off-topic, if so, I do apologize,
but I'd really appeciate any help on this.

Now that I have my DBMail working (thank you all), there
is one more thing I would like to do before moving on to
testing with real data.

Is there a way I can have 2 live mirrors of DBMail servers
on 2 different machines? (I dont particularly need 2 Postfix
mirrors, one will do, but I need 2 --or more-- DBMail mirrors)

I dont really care if doing that requires another glue-app
or it can be done with, say, DBMail and/or Postfix configuration
(I have searched the Net but found absolutely nothing. I dont
seem to be able to come up with magic keywords).

Cheers,
Ray
