Also just to let you know I've now compressed the maildir (a split of
gzip/bzip2 depending on which saved the most) which has reduced it

(emailed tiff files don't ask) which saves a lot in disk access as
well as disk space.
wow... but I wonder what the cost is in performance?
Most of the mail compressed was from 2001-2007 and has been moved into an
"archive" mail account which only 2/3 people currently have access to and I
can't see it getting that much use so performance was of little concern in
this instance.
