Hi Robert! 

Thank you so much for helping us (mainly which is the one boring the
list with questions :) although I promise I've checked the doc before
asking :) :)  ). 

When you have a master/slave config... in the slave one, when running
Squatter in rolling mode... does it update the conversations db too?. By
the way, Squatter in rolling mode only makes sense in slave machines
isn't it?. 

Many thanks!

One of the indexes it stores is the SHA1 hashes of every message, and separate hashes for each of that message MIME parts. Such a hash is named the GUID, and for each GUID we store a list of all mailbox:UID[bodypart] pairs where this content occurs in.
