Hi everyone, I just stumbled upon this now, although it's not exactly new (it was done on machines with kernel 2.4.2). Disclaimer: the benchmarks were done by the author of Courier IMAP. This has pros and cons. The pro is that this guy knows IMAP and knows Maildirs, so his analyses are pretty good. The con of course is that hey may have had biases for Courier IMAP, his own software. On the whole I think this will help those of us thinking about whether to shift to Maildirs or not.
(Note that I shifted to Maildirs ever since I first encountered qmail, this was circa RedHat 6.0/6.2, when Postfix was not yet called Postfix. I have been very happy with its performance especially when working with my ever-growing PLUG mailbox). <http://www.courier-mta.org/mbox-vs-maildir/> --> Jijo -- Federico Sevilla III :: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Administrator :: The Leather Collection, Inc.
