I mean other than several thousand messages? Can it be a limit in the OS? Or maybe the "set of fields"? Which contain a weird char(set)? I'm asking because I've had a CEO with ~28.000 (twenty eight thousands) messages in his Inbox... out of which ~9500 were unread; and that was on a 32 bit RHEL 4.0. Yet I haven't seen ( thanks God!) the problem(s) described in this thread. ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
