Not really. I'm currently supporting over 1.5M mailboxes, and provide them webmail and IMAP access (therefore, they can use Trash). However, the Courier-IMAP (and direct Maildir-access webmail) software clears the Trash after 7 days (or any other amount of time configured by you), so it's size never becomes a real problem. After a couple of "important messages" disappear misteriously, they get the idea. Cheers; Ricardo
