Thank you Jim, I forgot to mention, we do not pull full emails from server, so, there is no local copy. It just could produce more problems. Suddenly, our 1.3TByte emails could be easily 2-3TByte, as our users like to send CC to their colleagues, so, 1 copy on server could cause 4-5 copies on clients. Fortunately my experience with TB accessing folder with 163000 emails is pretty quick, no problem. (I don't like TB, I think it is a crap, but this is my private opinion, nobody cares). It seems I only have performance problem with imapsync, when I have to migrate some users' thousands of folders into one big folder and on every source folder triggers a full crawling headers of the big folder, which takes time. I was just curious, what is others' experience with such a large amount of folders. Thanks!
