I'm sending this message from a mailbox which is 1GB and has ~8000 messages through a Dovecot IMAP server. It is quite responsive and nimble. As you said, to be fair, it's hosted on an 8-Core Athlon FX-8120 with 8GB memory running on an SSD based file system. I used to run the UW IMAP server and wondered why so many people were running Dovecot. Now that I switched (some years ago) the few problems I saw disappeared. > On 05 Nov 2013, at 14:12 , shepsta <shepk9@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >> We have accounts that are over 200mb, they state squirrelmail cannot >> handle >> it, causes issues.
