How about implementing MIX[1] (and yes, i am totally ignorant about the format, i just know of it, and have heard some praise).

My question -- rather a curiosity -- is if one could easily implement an alternative message store instead of maildir. (I actually have in mind a KV store like BerkeleyDB, or even a database like CouchDB...) (I'm not also implying the same for the index, which I'm aware is based on Xapian, which requires BerkeleyDB, which in turn needs a local file system.) After quickly looking over the code (2 minutes actually) I saw that currently this is not easily possible without touching a lot of files... Or am I wrong? Better said: is such an abstract email store interface on the to-do list, or even acceptable to have if someone provides it? Thanks, Ciprian. _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org http://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
