To elaborate more on what I said in the initial post, I must make it clear that:
(1) I'm talking from the point of view of a single user, not a sysadmin. (2) Email clients must be simple and snappy. (3) I have found they are not very appropriate to keep (and eventually search through) a large archive of old emails. (3) A database seems to be a good way to keep a larger archive of emails messages (including, of course) attachments. For huge archives containing many accounts there could be efficiency problems, but not for a single user (nowadays I've got about 1GB). (4) I had found some partial examples about how to parse mbox files to import into mysql, but nothing really elaborated. I'll check DBMail with attention. Many thanks!

Cannot believe the bunch of negative comments on Joe... what are you trolling about? In the old times, for most people getting into Linux from DOS, JOE was the only editor worth to be relied on. vi was cryptic as hell and emacs was... emacs.
Very good link! the most relevant claim in it being Earlier on Tuesday, Red Hat announced a partnership with IBM to include enterprise Linux on IBM's new line of high-end Power servers and computers.
As usual, IBM doesn't go to bed with one girl only...
First they lost appreciation from personal users (Fedora affair), and now they lose support from big guys (IBM). I'd sell my Red Hat stock as soon as I could pick up the phone and contact my broker...
Thanks for a very corteous and well-thought reply to what could (superficially) be considered a flame-bait.
Nevertheless, my point wasn't arguing on why Apple only delivers one-button mice. I just tried to point out how the claim "I want a multi-button mouse!" is always answered by "you always can buy one!" (that's the 'amusing' thing). There may be some bussiness points supporting Apple's stubborness on one-button mice (as there are in Windows-preinstalled PCs), but that doesn't discount the frustation of users wanting another option and not getting it. And remember, Apple's the only source for Apple machines!!
It's always amusing to hear the "you can buy a two-button one" argument being brought up.
Do I like being obliged to buy a PC with Windows preinstalled? NO!
Do I like being sold a one-button mouse when I'm going to use a two-button one? NO!
Enough said!
Oh, thanks, as someone who has used gnome from the pre 1.0 era I know what themes are about, and see many of them.
Repeat after me: so good, so dull.....
I don't remember the journalist who made it, but an steady battle against Linux based on IP/patents was one of the predictions for Linux during 2003/2004. We have it at full steam... and now it's become clear who's steering the boat.
If SCO doesn't sue ESR immediately (asking for death penalty at least!), all we knew he's right.

For all of use archiving our email for years, wouldn't it be nice to be able to file messages in a real database? YES!!!!

Those who remained with Novell all these last years... have they made a lot of money?
No, I'm just amused because not long ago we were discussing about if Red Hat was becoming the next Microsoft, and now it seems the other way round...

Is that real money for Billy G? Don't think so!

Loved all the improvements, but... why gnome desktops look always so dull?

Could you hack, eat pizza and shag them at the same time? You're an awesome hacker?
