Good point. We're all different. I have about 300 mail domains. We make it
clear in the agreement that it is the client's responsibility to maintain
backups.
How do you deal with document destruction policies? Delete the backup files
when they get a couple of years old? Having old email hanging around has
caused trouble for a number of comapnies...

Thanks Dave
I am facing the opposite situation - I am in a corporate environment, and
having that much email on a users local PC, that is not backed up or lost
if the PC crashes. At least with the IMAP accounts, I can backup it up.

I don't know of any hard limits, but I had the same observation running
IMAP on a large account. It does help to break the mail up into a number
of folders because each folder has its own file.
Having said that, the main issue for me is a security concern - keeping
that much material on a publicly accessible server. That's the main
reason I switched back to POP myself after several years using IMAP.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Imail mail box size limit
Hi Imail fans,
I have a couple of IMAP mailboxes that are 2.1Gb in size (yes I know way
to big), some of my users are using Outlook express to access there imap
account (on a local LAN), and OE is starting to have an issue reading
the BIG mailbox.
I am in the process of pruning / deleting / moving messages from that
mail box, But does OE or IMAP have a mailbox size limit that it can work
with.
Im running Imail 8.22 on a W2k server formated with NTFS
Thanks
