I have not have a chance to run everything through the full paces yet, 
but it builds/installs clean now.

Lets please assume I am not a total idiot.

This is clean unpatched src from the download site, no ports tree 
involved.  The same tarball that builds perfectly on my workstation but 
not on the testing system for our mail platform.

Re: [Courier-imap] Large Subfolder Problem

2008-05-14 Thread Christopher E. Brown

And those of us with better than a TB of mail for more than 100K 
accounts serviced by a rack worth of load balanced servers and a HA NFS 
infrastructure would be SOL.


True Maildir without all the indexing addins (like Cyrus started with) 
is NFS safe and scales.

You take a hit up front, but you gain it back in the ability to have 
dozens of servers, where any server can handle any mailbox, including 
multiple servers accessing the box at the same time.  (As it happens the 
IMAP client I am using now has 5 sessions up, each to a separate server 
the the LB and all accessing the same account.)


We run courier *because* it uses true Maildir without any index based 
acceleration.


That being said, I am working with thunderbird, in an account with 3 - 5 
thousand messages per folder across a few dozen folders does well.

The testbed install in a generic single CPU Opteron at 2Ghz, 1G RAM and 
a single 300G SATA drive.  Last time I was getting complaints I spent 
most of a day pushing messages around with 35,000 messages per folder 
without issue.  (Turns out the complaints were about an account with 
230,000 messages in the inbox).
