What I was wondering is....can someone help list the pro's and
cons of skiplist and Bdb?
I found the following link to be very helpful
http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki/bin/view/Cyrus/WhatDatabaseBackend
'k, just read this, thx ... first question I have is what is
/var/spool/imap/db? mboxlist? nothing else on that page appears
appropriate, but just want to make sure ...
AFAIK, there is no such thing as /var/spool/imap/db (not in the IMAP
spool). There will be something like /var/imap/db (in configdir),
which is the BDB environment directory.
I have my imapd.conf file setup to point to /var/spool/imap ... not
sure why I did this, but I've had it like this forever now ... same
as the default /var/imap ...
So, based on the above ... if I were to switch *everything* to
skiplist, then that directory would go away?
It wouldn't go away by itself, but you could remove it.
'k ... just to make sure that I fully understand though ... as long as I
use Berkeley DB for *anything*, that directory needs to exist ... ? For
instance, if duplicate_db == db3?
Yes. I you use BDB for any of the databases, then you will have a
<configdir>/db/ directory.
