Delivering mail to home directory is only needed when users are expected to login via terminal and use command line tools for accessing their email. In FreedomBox, we expect users to use GUI tools such as Thunderbird and K-9 Mail to access their mail. So, POP3 and IMAP access sufficient. Not trying to compatible with command line mail tools means that high performance mailbox storage formats can be chosen. This is important to ensure that accessing mail via IMAP is fast. In future, we can consider enabling full text search using Apache Solr. Signed-off-by: Sunil Mohan Adapa <sunil@medhas.org> Reviewed-by: James Valleroy <jvalleroy@mailbox.org>
