I have a different, but similar, question.
We have a fairly ongoing problem with some of the users at work who don't
seem capable of cleaning out their INBOX, so they end up with 100MB mail
spools with 7000 messages in them.
I had theorized that chunking over the 100MB mailbox was slow, and that
using a maildir would be much faster, and it is except that with that many
messages, the OS slows down.
Does anyone have any suggestions (including a different filesystem -- we
just used ext2) that might help this?
Other notes: IMAP is pretty much a requirement because they want to have
server-central mailboxes, so POP3 is not a solution for us.
Thanks,
Troy
