IMHO this is a reasonable question. I guess that it would required another 
build dependency (sqlite) which was not present before. This would definetely 
be a disadvantate.

On the other hand I have very good experiences with sqlite in several smaller 
projects. I also prefer plain SQL to the berkley db syntax. Sqlite is small 
but mature. The risks involved in using sqlite are maybe smaller compared to 
the IMAP preferences driver.

But the point raised by Gunnar about backup and general storage strategy is 
imho really strong.

In the end I must admit that I currently lack a final opinion.
