I'm very suspicious when MySQL finds its way into an open-source package, due to its ties to Oracle. Why not Postgresql?

Why not MariaDB and then you don't have to worry about fixing third party packages that depend on MySQL specific behavior?

Why would an email client need an RDBMS backend in the first place other than the fact that, like WordPress, the devs did not value KIS? Squirrelmail does fine without a db, as do all of the command line clients.
