I've been using the Courier mail system for a few months now with Maildir format, and it has solved a lot of performance issues. The nice thing is that it doesn't have to load a single >100MB file into memory/cache/\/tmp unless you have one single e-mail that is that large (if you do, then you need to smack the person that sent it to you ;-) Also, depending on the client that is most commonly used in your environment, it may not even have to load the individual files. A lot of IMAP clients will now cache (they call it download) messages locally so the server doesn't need to process them every time. You also don't have to use the entire Courier system. You can individually get the IMAP server, the webmail system, and the filtering system (maildrop). Or, you can get the whole package.
