/**
 * @defgroup msgdb Mailnews message database
 * This module is the access point to locally-stored databases.
 *
 * These databases are stored in .msf files. Each file contains useful cached
 * information, like the message id or references, as well as the cc header or
 * tag information. This cached information is encapsulated in nsIMsgDBHdr.
 *
 * Also included is threading information, mostly encapsulated in nsIMsgThread.
 * The final component is the database folder info, which contains information
 * on the view and basic information also stored in the folder cache such as the
 * name or most recent update.
 *
 * What this module does not do is access individual messages. Access is
 * strictly controlled by the nsIMsgFolder objects and their backends.
