Hello all, thanks for all the answers on my request. I'll definitely use ext3 on our new mailserver. What about improving SORT and SEARCH in courier-imap by integrating an indexed search/ordering? (I think dovecot has something like this) Regards valli On Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 05:17:49PM -0300,

2007-07-11 Thread courier-imap
