If you have a large set of email from various sources
(spam/ham/plain-text/attachments) you should insert those into dbmail
using something like:

#!/bin/sh
i=1; j=1;
while [ $i -lt 100 ]; do
 while [ $j -lt 100 ]; do
  cat somebigmailbox.mbox|\
   formail -ds dbmail-smtp -u testuser$i -m mailbox$j
  let j=$j+1
 done
 let i=$i+1
done

that should produce a nice set of mailboxes spread acros multiple accounts.

Difficult. I don't have any numbers. Mostly depends on the most
prevalent clients. You can find some of the most used IMAP commands for
TB and Outlook in test-scripts/textimap.py in the testFetch testcase.
