My initial take on this is that users with mail boxes in the 100-600MB range need to do some housekeeping. :)
I believe Imail stores mail in the single file format as it's a recognise standard *.nix thing to do (those who know the techincals may coorect me on that). Have you considered and ODBC datastore for your email. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew Aitken Sent: 28 November 2003 16:11 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IMail Forum] Mailbox storage issue Is there any way of getting Imail to store messages in another format (ie single files per message - similar to cyrus IMAP) rather than one big file for every mailbox. The reason I ask is that we have around 300 users that like to keep a lot of email accessible on server. Some of users have mailboxes anywhere from 100-600MB in size. The problem we have is that when we are doing backups nearly 2/3 of our total 16GB of email files are changing daily, making our daily incremental backups around 10GB. Anything I can do other then hack user usage down in general.
