Thanks for the advise, some are not applicable unfortunately. For a clearer picture; our setup is the following: * NetApp Filer with FC disks serving NFS * 4 Linux servers mounting NetApp volume for user Maildirs * Mail is spooled on local drives before being delivered to NFS Maildirs * Mail services (IMAP, POP, SMTP) are load balanced with network load balancer We've already broken up his mail quite a bit (by first letter of e-mail, by year) but that leads to him complaining about not being able to find any given e-mail. This is a man who pretty much has every e-mail he's ever received for the last 8+ years. Even with this break down some of his folders are still rather large, so we may have to investigate breaking it down further. Is there a known limit to the number of subscribed folders?
