    Description

      James has a JPA implementation of most interfaces that allows to deploy it on top of some popular RDBMS.
      However, while useful for some kind of applications, ORM are usually a bad fit for applications requiring high performance like a mail server.
      As an abstraction, it also prevents from using advanced features of a given RDBMS.
      For most usages, James would probably run great on top of Postgres, given that we use advanced features to implement search, for example.

      A good strategy would be to implement all interfaces implemented by JPA with a modern Postgres driver.
