Max, there's probably not much difference in storing the file in either method, as far as the amount of work goes. There may be other implications, such as security. Please have a look at this recent thread, which should help you make your mind up :- http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.php/browse_frm/thread/8e8ce2aef32030 59 Rob. -----Original Message----- From: php-objects@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:php-objects@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Max Frigge Sent: 15 January 2008 11:02 To: php-objects@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Manuel Lemos's Pop3 Class I am developing a web mail client, with flex front end and PHP back end. I will most probably download them all cause it seems to be much easier to handle all the data. I am just unsure whether to store the whole mail in db or save them as .eml files. I reckon that it would be really handy to save them as eml files and only store the details like subject, sender, recipient, data... in a db. What do you think?
