[Obm] OBM Imap Archive Module Preview!

[Matthieu Baechler]

Hi Cyril,

We decided to restrict the archive service to work on a single IMAP
Server.

Archive process is done on a dedicated cyrus partition to be able to put
data on a different filesystem.

That way, we get a very fast archive process (using server-side copy),
archived mails are reachable in the user mailbox and we are still able
to store data where we want.

It's definitively possible to implement what you want by extending
current code, but mails would be transfered by the network and the user
would still need to configure two accounts.

If you are interested in implementing such an extension, we could give
you a hand.

Finally, if you want to test it, it's available on a "feature
branch" (http://deb.obm.org/features/imap-archive/). It means that it
can break at anytime and the documentation is not written yet. If you
are really willing the try it now, ask for help on IRC #obm.

Cheers,
