You're not running dovecot, are you?
If not, using dovecot will solve your problem. I have mailboxes half again that size, running across NFS, with no problems.

There will be an rpm for QMT of dovecot-2.0.11 available very soon, which can be used effectively in place of Courier. We're presently finishing up QA and documentation. You can expect to see it sometime next week.

A problem regarding size I have run into is when a user with more than 2G of email insists on using Outlook. That's an Outlook constraint though, and is not performance related.

I thought about archiving old messages to decrease the size of mailboxes
on my server.

that certain corporations must adhere to.

Personally, I'd just keep some kind of incremental system (like
rdiff-backup) running on the vpopmail storage. The question is how long
does it need to be archived for, and what is the target medium.

The alternate question is whether this is for one person, 2, or the
whole server?

The best solution I know of is not to. :) Is there a problem you have
which you think archiving will solve? Please describe.
