Which database backend should I use for which databases?
--------------------------------------------------------
Here's a brief summary of the major database types:
* **Skiplist**: Proprietary Cyrus Format, fast enumeration, moderately fast write, moderately fast random access, binary support
* **Flat**: Easy to maintain format, fast enumeration, very slow write, moderate random access, no binary support
The default database backend for each database is the type currently
recommended by the Cyrus developers. Please reference the
:cyrusman:`imapd.conf(5)` manpage for your version of Cyrus imapd to see
what the defaults are.
