We were using flat for about that size (65000, though we used it at 1500 too). >> or it will impact performances ? > > It works fine for us. Whether other formats would perform better, I > can't say. We never benchmarked. Flat format isn't as bad as you > would initially think, since cyrus mmap()s the file anyway.

I'm confident that we have enough activity now that just the mailbox.db updates from folder creates would cause significant delays while the file was re-written. I don't know if Dave is running a murder, but it seems to us that mailboxes.db updates on the proxies just work better with skiplist. Good luck, -- Stephen L.
