I’m very interested in a PHP interface that directly connects to the database 
and performs the SQL directly. I am already using Roundcube Framework to access 
Dovecot mail using IMAP for my next project, but I would probably change to use 
DBMail if my PHP apps had a clean interface to access the database tables 
directly and not be restricted to the IMAP view of the database. I could 
especially use an easy interface for updating/replacing headers and MIME parts 
directly. My app will use the mailboxes as a type of user datastore in addition 
to being a tradition mail account for my users. The headers in the messages 
stored in a folder can hold the “meta data” attributes and an encrypted binary 
MIME part can be used to hold the “data”.

I don’t have the time in the next few months to contribute to this project, but 
I do look forward to seeing how it might progress in the meantime. I would 
especially like the PHP interface to be included in the DBMail distribution and 
maintained/developed like other parts of the software.

A Roundcube Framework extension is a perfect plugin for this effort since the 
Framework is already very mature in accessing/manipulating mail messages and 
further DBMail integration would be a very welcome development.
