Hi all.
Here it's my problem: i've a qmail linux server smtp/qmail-pop3 and i've a
windows Outlook client with a 1,1Gb of message stored in one file (Outlook use
the only mailbox.pst to store the messages), it's obvious that this client has
a lot of problem of stability and of getion of this large file (microsoft say
that outlook with the mailbox >of 1gb has a lot of problem).
I've thinked to convert the outlook file in a mailbox (with an external
utility) file and then in a maildir archive and place a courier IMAP on the
server with the maildir stored messages, so all the messages will be kept in the
server with no problem for the Outlook client.
I've a little question for this method:
- Is maildir more reliable and fast of mailbox this big size of file/s?
- Will be IMAP slower the Mail usage because the large net traffic (i've a 10mb
lan) ? or all will work fine?
- Will the server support this big traffic/resource utilizzation? (the server
is a linux debian 2.2 PII 500 128Mb ram 8 Gb UDMA33 hd)
Thanks for your help.
Davide.
