# We have a fairly ongoing problem with some of the users at work who don't
# seem capable of cleaning out their INBOX, so they end up with 100MB mail
# spools with 7000 messages in them.

# I had theorized that chunking over the 100MB mailbox was slow, and that
# using a maildir would be much faster, and it is except that with that many
# messages, the OS slows down.
#
# Does anyone have any suggestions (including a different filesystem -- we
# just used ext2) that might help this?
#
# Other notes: IMAP is pretty much a requirement because they want to have
# server-central mailboxes, so POP3 is not a solution for us.
