I haven't tried this, but I thought it should be possible to create a (sub)mailbox of a user on a different partition. If I get the time to try it, we are going to create a new partiton on ATA disks, create for each user an Archive folder on that partition and give them more quota on that folder. So we can give our users a limited amount of quota in their Inbox and subfolders (these are on fibrechannel disks) and more quota on slower disks. but do correct me if I'm wrong. > >> I would like to make extendable (by size) user mailboxes, but I don't >> want to move accounts over partitions when disk space becomes low, >> instead I want to attach new storages and store new mail there. > > Why?
