In regard to: Re: [Imap-uw] noatime mount for imap filesystem?, Mark...:

One of the other sysadmins here suggested that when we redo the
filesystems, we mount our imap filesystems with the "noatime" option,
so that file access times are not updated.
Is anyone currently doing that? Will that cause problems for either mbx
or mix format folders, or dmail/tmail/imapd in general?
It's alright to use noatime for mix, but not for mbx or traditional UNIX
since atime is used to identify mailboxes with new mail by both imapd
and the UNIX shell.
Thanks much Mark. I thought I remembered something like that, but I
wasn't certain. I wasn't aware that mix avoided the issue though --
just one more thing to look forward to...
