That means that your cpu is i686, your kernel is i686 compatible *and*
i386 compatible.

dbmail was available in Ubuntu repositories up to 11.04 (natty):
http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/dbmail
You'd have to go throught the bug reports to find out why it was dropped
for newer releases.

Note that the .deb (Download dbmail) shows i386 - that only means it
will run fine on Intel x86 machines - including i386.

You can safely go back to:
<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.imap.dbmail/14365>
and let them know that you have an i686 cpu & kernel. The issues that
you are having in that thread
(<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.mail.imap.dbmail/14338/focus=14365>
have nothing to do with i386.
