Welcome to the Wiki for Manitou-Mail, a database-driven mail user agent.
manitou-mdx is a Perl program that is responsible for importing incoming mail into the database, and exporting outgoing mail to a Mail Transfert Agent. MDX stands for Mail Database eXchanger. It is supposed to run as a daemon (always running in background) although it can also be invoked as a normal command to import existing mailboxes.
Its functionalities can be vastly extended by user-contributed plugins written in the Perl language.
The main documentation for manitou-mdx is part of the Manitou-Mail's manual.
Additional information is available on this wiki:
The Plugins page provides documentation and sample plugins.
The current version of an installed Manitou-Mail database can be queried in SQL by:
SELECT rt_value FROM runtime_info WHERE rt_key='schema_version'
A visual representation of the schema can be seen on this diagram (although it's not current, it doesn't differ that much from newer versions of the schema)
Upgrade script To upgrade the db schema from 0.9.12
Starting from 1.0, it's also possible to perform a schema upgrade to the latest version by this shell command:

“Latest” here means the latest known to the manitou-mgr command.
