graham262 Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I have a situation where I need to record emails send from a data management system we have. At the moment I just store the sender, receiver and title of the email, but my there is a request to also store the email it's self in case they need to look it up. I initially said that storing the email content would kind take up lots of space on the server over time. Anyone know of a economical way of storing email content. Users will very rarely need to look up the content it's self, only in vary rare circumstances. What ways are best? Files, Database? ???

graham262 Posted August 24, 2007 Author Share Posted August 24, 2007 Yes, have thought about doing that. I will still end up storing a lot of email content though as this facility on our system is used quite a lot. Any preferred method for storing? Is a DB efficient as it's only storing chunk text.

xyn Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I'd say MYSQL is better, easier to remove records, and takes less space. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/66476-storing-emails-a-good-idea/#findComment-332840 Share on other sites More sharing options...
