Hi,
ive walked into a enviroment where the previous admin has being using pop
and making the email clients leaving a copy of the mail on the workstation..
Now overtime these mailboxes (mbox format) have grown between 1,5 to 1,8
Gigs large
I want to convert all these mailbox to IMAP (only 15) and want to know
whats the largested suggest folder size per user dovecot IMAP runs
smoothly with good responce times..
I know the users also have large OUT LOOK pst files 4.5GIGs and wondering if
I could also intergrate that into IMAP?
Please any feedback would be great on this topic..??
I have some users that have let their inboxes get to a gig with no noticeable
speed problems except when you delete stuff from the middle with clients like
thunderbird that want to purge on every delete. If you purge as a seperate
step, it isn't as noticeable.
I have some little used folders of things like logwatch e-mails that are
several gigs large, and I can read and search them fairly quickly.
The indexes in dovecot help a lot. Wuimap would slow to a crawl on large boxes.
