Thunderbird storage-idea

[Celia Grosse]

I heard that Thunderbird will switch to a database-based storage with
version 3. But many people like the mbox-format. Would it be possible
to support both - the database storage-engine *and* the current storage
-technology whereas the latter sould be extended by a single transaction
-log (before- and after-image of changes to the files) to protect against
inconsistencies through crashes?

I don't think we would abandon the option of using the mbox format.

Ok, but could you support the current format with an additional
transaction-log to prevent inconsistencies through crashes?
