Alexey from Messaging direct has been keeping lists of all things that support SASL. I'm not sure if the sites moved but here's a cached copy http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:www.taxxi.com /homerus/mail/SASL_ClientRef.html
Hopefully you'll be able to add mozilla to that list shortly too.
I believe the number of error can be reduced with code reviews. This site can help you get reviews :)

there are many real database packages that don't cost money. Berkeley DB comes to mind. Even gdbm provides some of the ACID properties
Why do people use mySql? My understanding is that it has none of the ACID properties. If this is try it would seem fairly useless as a database.

Usually depend upon FPU which is largely ignored in commodity chips.
It's not that nothing is CPU bound. It's just very rarely the bottleneck.
