i apologize for the delay -- i've been offline for a few days.

as i wrote in the earlier message, the database has only an index to 
your e-mail plus all settings related to folder selection (drafts, 
trash, sent). if you blow it away for any reason, the system will remake 
it. if you stop the system, blow it away, change your config to use 
pgsql rather than mysql, and restart it, then it will remake it using a 
different kind of database than the one you blew away.

you will in any case have to check all of your settings after remaking 
the database, regardless of whether you change the kind of the database.
