I have a client that is very unwisely using his email server as a sort of FTP server where people are sending him very large attachments. His mailbox size is about 250 megabytes and he receives emails daily that are about 10 - 25 megabytes big (I told him not to do this and to simply use FTP, but he insists on doing everything through email).
 
Anyway, the system is slow and he is getting timeout errors left and right. I am currently using the mbox format, but was wondering if there are better formats out there (maildir?) for email servers with a low number of emails, but high attachment size.
 
What is the best mail format out there for people who get a small number of messages with large attachments? Will it work with IMAP?
