No evidence of notability. Apparently was deleted back in 2006(!) as a PROD but said PROD was just contested and undeleted today? Didn't even know you could do that. But at the end of the day, the page hasn't been substantially improved at all, and if it wasn't sufficient in 2006, it sure isn't sufficient today.

 * The argument at Requests for undeletion makes no case that a verifiable article from independent sources can be written. It's just a technical challenge to a proposed deletion. When it comes to independent sources, is  enough?  I think not.  At least two sources, and more depth is required, especially if the de-PROD request was based upon this subject as of later than 20 years ago.   improves things.  But that still makes it 1 good source plus six sentences.  In the case where there's a single good overview source, I look for there being a fair number of ancillary detail sources, and there aren't any independent ones that I can find here, let alone enough.

 * Thanks for undeleting this entry.
 * DBMail is notable as it's the only IMAP server backed by an RDBMS. It's also the only one that appears to be able to scale using Docker.
 * I've updated the entry to be more useful, please allow time to encourage independent articles.

 * Delete I can't find any substantial coverage and even the brief parts I have found, seem to be about a different piece of software which has some similarly named functions: . SmartSE (talk) 17:18, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
