sorry i think i explain a bit wrong. i was using Mdeamon in my last
company my current company is fetching emails from mail server from
our service provider.
since we fetch the email via pop and sent via smtp the problem is i
need to make backup of individual PST. therefore i presented the idea
to management for IMAP. so i think my basic need are. POP emails from
hosted server. IMAP for local users, ldap for AddressBook/contents
update. spam filter and antivirus scan. and obviously Web access for
clients. and i dont know if SQL database is better then local mail
folders. because mdeamon use to store data in a folder. but i think
SQL is much more better then that.
