[tde-users] Re: KMAIL Rookie Mistake.

Later Maildir and other formats (see DB-Mail where email is stored in mysql db) were introduced to cope with the increasing email volumes. For local storage nowdays it is sufficient to use Maildir (IMO). For admin mail perhaps most simple to use mbox as you do not expect too much mail from a single system and you can remove now and then the oldest. You can google Maildir and find out what features it provides (ex. better indexing). BR
