Just silently default to mysqli perhaps - i.e. if someone chooses 'mysql' they're actually using 'mysqli' ?

We could wrap this in a if(function_exists('mysqli_connect')) or something - just incase it's possible to have a php5-mysql installed without a php5-mysqli package?

So really the user is choosing whether to use MySQL or other.database - not between two flavours of MySQL.

Yes.

I'd always change this back to 'No'. But that's just me.

I think we should look at using sieve.

+1 - doesn't work for PostgreSQL anyway.

What's this do? Just show whether the database thinks a mailbox/alias is in use? If so, yes.
