Experimenting with CouchDb as a mail store.
- self 16y agoWhy? Well, in my case, I want something better than 20k files in one nnmh directory. On my test Maildir (copy of my INBOX from a few weeks ago), `du -s ~/Maildir` reported 81MB and the CouchDb database is 76.3MB. There's lots to be done: * handle MIME as binary objects where possible. That should use less storage space than the uuencoded message parts. * store seen and other Maildir flags * write (non-web) frontends, preferably gnus.
