My initial tests for CLucene were that it would take 30% of mailbox size (compared to 50% for Xapian). But this was before I actually implemented it to Dovecot.. I haven't really looked at how large the indexes actually are. Looking at Lucene indexes now for all of Dovecot and Dovecot-cvs mailing list archives, the indexes are 29.1% of the original mbox sizes. > Do I understand correctly if I think > http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/FTS/Lucene > will create an index for each user in his home directory? Yes. > Will this be accounted for in the users' quota? Only if you're using filesystem quota.
