Did you use the sb_dbexpimp.py script to migrate?  Or just start from
scratch?  At the moment, only the stats db (hammie.db) can be changed over -
you'll have to trash the messageinfo db.

It's there are a sort of experimental option.  I don't know of anyone that
uses it in practice, although it should work, and has been roughly tested.

You need to set the [Storage] persistent_use_database option to "mysql".
You can do this via the web interface, I believe, or just by manually
editing your configuration file.  The 'name' of your database should be
something like:

    host:localhost user:username pass:password dbname:database_name

(If you leave any one item out, they default to:

  host = "localhost"
  username = "root"
  password = ""
  db_name = "spambayes"
)

You need to set the mySQL db up yourself first, creating the appropriate
database.  The table "bayes" will be created by SpamBayes.

Feedback would be great!

Good, you'll need the change I just checked in :)

Both.
