So they both say same thing. You can verify courier-vs-mbox tests. I don't have to do that, because I've seen complains about uw performance with mbox files n years ago. I am not saying that you should use maildir. Any other indexed mailbox and efficient mailbox format will work. One more point against mbox. Mailbox is rebuild when messages are purged. It takes time to rebuild bigger mailbox. By default SquirrelMail executes EXPUNGE after every move and delete operation. -- Tomas ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
