Nice! I recently migrated my home server from Ubuntu to freebsd and was lazy to migrate my postfix/dovecot/sieve/all-the-other-parts and eventually kept it running in a VM instead.. This gives me the idea to try and migrate to Wildduck as it seems easier to deploy. Two questions that I have: 1. Is it possible to plug it into a mysql db instead of mongo?Self hosted apps are heavily relying on SQL db, so it feels more fluent to have a sql support 2. Is there a way to migrate existing postfix/dovecot mail server to this if I end up liking it?

1. no. WildDuck is built to use MongoDB sharding to be able to easily scale both vertically and horizontally without single point of failures - each component of WildDuck (DB, IMAP, POP3, MX, SMTP) can be replicated. SQL does not fit too well into this model. If you want to use SQL then you could look into DBMail 2. migrating is possible only syncing via IMAP. There is a maildir importer but it is not open sourced (yet)
