I wouldn't be suprised if Linux on old hardware beats the pants off the Sun, in terms of filesystem performance. Go install Courier-IMAP on the Linux box, it'll probably be faster than the Sun. Courier-IMAP is a rather thin layer between IMAP and the filesystem, so all your performance tuning belongs in the operating system. -- Sam _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas - http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm?source=osdntextlink _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
