Question: Do you have to have a radically greater setting for maildir
than for mbox? I would think...
What sort of values are people using with both formats? Sounds like a
nasty thing that could bite one in the $%# come migration from mbox to
maildir

Thanks for any info.
Hi Frank,
Your system is plenty powerful - no issues there.
What are your settings in the init script? I found that putting in a
ulimit -n 8192 and ulimit -f 16384 prior to invoking dovecot was
worthwhile on my system.
I would first try tweaking these settings in a root shell and then
invoke dovecot with a -c conf make sure it is picking up the right
conf file.
I'm sure the list will ask for the dovecot -n -c ... output as well.

Bingo ! since the begining I was modifying the wrong configuration
file ....
now everything is clear , when I modified the right file the OS instant
write to the shell I haven't enough file descriptors ...
Shame on me and thanks a lot Jack !
