Wrong list if you are talking about accessing from imap. You probably want to set the sticky bit though. Google around for explanations. -Bryan

You'd be much better off trying dovecot, unless you need something specific that cyrus provides and dovecot does not. Be sure you use the current version... 1.1.13, or even better 1.2b3, since it is close to going stable, and has a lot of improvements over the 1.1 branch... -- Best regards, Charles

But I found if there are too many email in maildir,the imap is very slow. Can we set the Maildir indexing?So we can accelerate to read/find the email from Maildir. that's a job of imap server, not mta (postfix). cyrus does it, dovecot too. dovecot is more flexible - it cat keep those indexes on different partition (ram disk maybe? ). or - you can get a very fast filesystem - in my tests ext3 with default setting won't work with 1000+ messages in one directory - 10-20 clients can make it crawl. that's why we (where I work) still use NetApp filer. cheers vadim Thank you.
