📄️ Overview
This section covers the configuration and management of the storage system. Stalwart Mail Server utilizes a two-pronged approach to storage, which involves a database and a blob store:
🗃️ Database
3 items
🗃️ Blob store
3 items
🗃️ Encryption
4 items
📄️ Full-text search
Stalwart Mail Server supports full-text search (FTS) capabilities that greatly improve the user experience when searching through email content. The FTS indexes are stored directly in the database using bloom filters, which are a space-efficient probabilistic data structure that can be used to determine whether an element is a member of a set. It’s important to note that, while bloom filters do not provide encryption, they do offer a level of privacy. This is because bloom filters obscure individual data items while allowing for effective searching, meaning that the content of your emails is not directly exposed in the search index.
📄️ Maintenance
Stalwart Mail Server runs periodically automated tasks that perform essential maintenance to ensure efficient use of storage and optimal database operations. The schedule for these task is configured using a simplified cron-like syntax:
