Keep in mind that 5-STABLE, and 6.x (and -CURRENT) have a max of 256

So far only a handfull of clients are expected. I am going to start at
10. :-)
Other than "killall -9 nfsd" is there any other way to restart nfsd?
/etc/rc.d/nfsd restart
On another thread you mentioned the rsize and wsize and that they should
go in the fstab at the client. I got the parameters to work based on a
doc on the web, but was wondering about size. 32K a good parameter for
an IMAP machine?
Yes, that should work just fine for you. You may also want to mount the
filesystem being shared via NFS on the server with the 'noatime' option.
The setup will be a mail storage server with 3 to 5 machines running
Courier IMAP and connecting to a shared mail folder over NFS.
Should be no problem then. So far, I have had great performance with
the 5-STABLE branch and 6- branch of FreeBSD for NFS serving. For an
IMAP mail store, FreeBSD's near-out-of-box configuration (with the
tweaks we've already talked about) should work wonders.
