Space question
« on: December 10, 2009, 12:29:24 PM »
Howdy all-

I'm looking at roundcube to use for replacing a desktop client in our organization.  We don't host our own mail server so this should be pretty simple.  I've been looking forever and seem to find the same problem in all clients - lack of global groups and lack of global address books.  Well, looks like with a plugin, the global address book is fixed on roundcube and works wonderfully.

My question is, if you don't intend on storing messages locally, but rather just accessing your mail server via the roundcube, how much space does the roundcube database take, for example, per user?  What is being stored in the database?  Message drafts, for one, I would assume, but what else?  Thanks!

it's not the best comparison, but my counts are as follows:

users: 3
mysql db size: <1meg
roundcube folder size: 24megs (with a whole bunch of plugins i mess with)

The database contains the following tables:

accounts
cache
contacts
identities
messages (not storage, just a temp holder if i'm not mistaken)
session
users

Ok - I was just curious - IF my boss approved it we'd be using it for probably 300 or so people - doesn't sound like space would be a big issue.
