In regard to: [Imap-uw] INBOX size [was Mail file fragmentation on Linux],...:
I would be interest in what people consider being a reasonable maximum INBOX size and if there is any online resources covering the problems caused by large INBOX.
Reasonable depends on format. MBX format INBOXes give significantly improved performance, even at much larger sizes and message counts, than traditional "From " format mailboxes. I still recommend keeping the INBOX small (and try to lead by example), but the format does make a huge difference. My gripe with both traditional and MBX INBOXes relates more to backups than it does to client access.
