Persistence
- Mailbox is for users’ Inbox, Sent Items, Trash… folders - Mailbox persistence is configured in spring-beans.xml (by default jpa, you set the database connection properties in database.properties - can also be maildir=file, jcr). We think to move this config out-of spring-beans.xml.
- Mailrepositorystore is for spam, error,… mails, so nothing to do with users visible mails. Available mailstore persistence are defined in mailstore.xml. Each has an URL prefix (file, db, dbfile,…) that can be used in mailetcontainer.xml to define where to store spam,… mails (exemple: file://var/mail/error/).
- Domain persistence is configured in domainlist.xml
- Users persistence is configured in usersrepository.xml
- All
