I'm re-working my exim configurations now to use MySQL backends for data instead of using flatfiles, thanks to help from vmail-sql, and I'm re-doing some parts to use Maildir over mbox formatted mail, using /var/[spool/]/mail/virtual/$domain/$user/ as the Maildir_path, for the popboxes, and then, using Courier-IMAP to follow up and use MySQL for authentication reading similar information to get that same resolution of the Maildir_path.

The only limiting factor of this, is if a real user of a virtual popbox has shell access in, and uses local MUA's, then it doesn't work for the quota.

Hey guys. I was reading through past articles, and noticed a common
question being Webmail and IMAP.
For the guys interested, I've been working on a previous endeavor
myself doing that, and originally, I started out using Postfix with
MySQL, and Courier-IMAP. And since my discoveries of postfix and
virtual not mixing well with combined functionality, I've since gone
back to exim. I'm re-working my exim configurations now to use MySQL
backends for data instead of using flatfiles, thanks to help from
vmail-sql, and I'm re-doing some parts to use Maildir over mbox
formatted mail, using /var/[spool/]/mail/virtual/$domain/$user/ as
the Maildir_path, for the popboxes, and then, using Courier-IMAP to
follow up and use MySQL for authentication reading similar
information to get that same resolution of the Maildir_path. Though
Courier-IMAP is slightly different in what it expects, it still will
work, though is a bit of a redundancy hack.
PS: I enclosed 'spool/' in []'s because my server model is being
designed on FreeBSD, but will be used on Linux in production.
'virtual/' could also easily be deleted and just use $domain/$user
instead for a cleaner heigharchy (Sp?).
Courier-IMAP also has "soft" quotas. The only limiting factor = of
this, is if a real user of a virtual popbox has shell access in, and
uses local MUA's, then it doesn't work for the quota. Else, it works
fine over Webmail, such as SquirrelMail (which is what I plan to = use,
when this is all done and fixed up).
Anyway, thought I'd spread my idea, and possibly get second opinions
on the matter.
