insanity >Will these mailbox sizes still cause and issue even though >our server has a 1gb of ram, dual 927mhz processors as well as >300gb disk running on 2000 advanced server. .mbx files are flat, non-indexed text files. to read the headers, the imap (or web messaging) server has to read all 500 mbytes of a single text file, end to end. The situation is badly aggravated when the mailbox partition is badly fragmented, which is typical. Multiply that by the number of simultaneously connected users.
