Re: Future of Qmail-LDAP

No capability to store message blobs compressed.
No ability to strip the meta data from the message thus being able to
provide this info to pop3 / IMAP without using disk I/O.
No ability to be able to link 1 attachment to multiple messages.
No ability to move old/read messages to slower/cheaper storage

All this adds up to requiring colossal amounts of high speed,
expensive storage if you want to offer large mailboxes for millions of
users.
