I'd suggest using Cyrus. It's a pain to grok the first time around, once you do work it out, it's okay. Cyrus uses it's own indexed mailbox format, so it is blazingly fast: access to and operations on my 26,000 message trash folder is still quite perky even on the old 486DX2-66 which acts as my mail server. > > Second, disk speed is also a main factor. > Seconded. ;) I only ever use SCSI disks. As a general rule, they are fast and reliable - I'm using 1 and 2Gb disks purchased up to 10 years ago, and they're still working fine and more than fast enough.
