At this moment nothing (that's why it's not a urgent problem), but in
sometime the purpose of perdition is to «virtualizing» the storage of the
mail.
Suppose you have to build a mail system for 5000 users with 2 Go for each
persons, but you knwon in one-two year it's 10 Go. You can buy a huge servers
now for 50-60To but it's very expensive (lot more than two years) or you
can buy a smaller server today 10To. But what you going to do in 1 year ? Are
you going to just put in trash your 10To ? I'm not.
With perdition (or any imap proxy) you can create a map (according what you
want) to redirect the imap connection to the right server.
For example :
if the name match ^[a-i]* go to old server
if the name match ^[j-z]* go to second new server.
etc...
or
if the user is student go to old server
if the user is staff go to the new server
Meaning you can more easily manage you mail storage.
Don't known if I answer you question.
Regards.
