Some folders have +20k mails, and I had one with almost 100k. I had to wait for a few minutes to take a look into some of them when I was using dovecot. Most mails are just plain text. Though one folder contain heavier stuff in the range of 5-50 mb. It's one of the folders which have less mails. I thought that a database backend would be faster than a fs based solution. But obviously I was wrong. The server is not a last generation machine. But I have htop permanently in front of my face, and when dbmail is doing the hard work the cpu rarely goes above 20%, ram usage is less than 50%, and swap usage is around 34mb. So, the machine shouldn't be the bottleneck. I guess that dbmail is just not ready for home use (let alone serious workloads). The network is a regular 100mbits wired network. It worked ok with the fs, definitely faster. And dovecot allowed threads and server side sorting which dbmail seems to break. I guess I will just have to revert to dovecot or choose another imap server like cyrus. -- Jesús Guerrero ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword ----- squirrelmail-users mailing list Posting guidelines: http://squirrelmail.org/postingguidelines List address: squirrelmail-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx List archives: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.mail.squirrelmail.user List info (subscribe/unsubscribe/change options): https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/squirrelmail-users
