I did say, "for instance". A number of different database systems
|
|
support replication, but replication for mobile is a harder problem.
|
|
|
|
I should admit: we're experimenting with new email MUA. I wrote the
|
|
MDA to support it, and designed a custom (non-IMAP) MUA/MDA protocol to
|
|
support unique features of the MUA -- and it doesn't use database
|
|
replication.
