Hi Guys,Just been looking at kolab www.kolab.org, and was researching to see if there was any mention on the web of it having been made work with courier or was it tightly integrated with cyrus at a level beyone pop/imap protocol levels. This link came up: http://dot.kde.org/1106909457/ and a quote from it: Courier-IMAP uses the Maildir format, but it does not scale into the thousands of users, or the tens of thousands of messages per folder. Trust me, I've tried. Does this statement hold up in practice? I'd have thought not...
Of course not. My ISP uses Courier-IMAP to provide IMAP service for tens of thousands of users. Couldn't get a definitive answer on their customer count, but a mailing list broker claims to own 22,000+ customer E-mail addresses.
As far as tens of thousands of messages per folder, the server itself won't have any issues, it's the underlying filesystem. If your filesystem falls apart when there are tens of thousands of messages in a folder, that's that. There are filesystem that should easily handle hundreds of thousands of messages.
