Hi,
I have a couple of IMAP mailboxes that are 2.1Gb in size (yes I know way
to big), some of my users are using Outlook express to access there imap
account (on a local LAN), and OE is starting to have an issue reading the
BIG mailbox.
I am in the process of pruning / deleting / moving messages from that mail
box, But does OE or IMAP have a mailbox size limit that it can work with.
Im running Imail 8.22 on a W2k server formated with NTFS
My top 10 users (including me are)
1 9.7 GB
2 3.5 GB
3 1.8 GB
4 1.8 GB
5 1.7 GB
6 1.4 GB
7 1.2 GB
8 900 MB
9 853 MB
10 840 MB
None of us are having problems as long as...... the mailbox is divided in
plenty of smaller chunks. Each (sub) folder is a mbx file on the server and
on the client. These should never approach the 2GB limit. Other then that I
have not seen any problems.
Lot's of these large boxes are being used by people NOT on the local LAN.
However, we do use 8Mbit ADSL lines at our remote sites and the main site
has a private dark fiber with 100Mbit converters on it to the NDIX, which is
less then 10 miles away from that site.. :-)
Groetjes,
Bonno Bloksma
