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.

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.
Thanks
Use IMAP and have the users create subfolders and move the emails. Each
folder will have it's own mailbox file.
