A small Dovecot stone can be bought for 10 euros, a medium sized stone for 100 euros and a large stone for 500 euros. Each large stone can usually handle around 1000-2000 users before you need to buy more. If you have millions of users we'll need to find you a larger rock from my parents' backyard. There are only a limited number of such rocks available (we disposed of most of them to our neighbors' yards years ago), so their prices need to be negotiated in advance.
