This is one of the beauties of OpenGroupware - it's just PostgreSQL and
the filesystem. Simple and clean; PostgreSQL 8.3 performance is very
good. And you just reuse whatever SMTP/IMAP architecture you have or
want, this a strong bias towards Cyrus (of course).
That is how it should be, IMHO, subsystems should be loosely coupled;
but it does make it more difficult to implement some features.
