+Meqaris is a program that an e-mail server calls and the user interacts with by sending e-mails.

 The application contains its database SQL codes. During almost each operation, it checks if the database structures' version is exactly what the application expects.
 If the version is lower (including on the first run, when no database structures exist), all the SQL files necessary to upgrade the structures are run. Upon error, the upgrade is stopped, and the user is notified. To be able to upgrade successfully, you need to allow Meqaris to login as a user **with full access to the database schema** (like the schema owner `meqaris` created during installation).

 If the database structures' version is higher than what the application expects (which usually means that the application was downgraded or a database dump from a newer version was installed), the user is allowed to continue, but with a warning that the application may not fully work.

 Apart from the primary configuration and logs, all the data is kept in the database, so there is no need for any extra filesystem storage.
