I'd recommend NFS, very easy to scale and excellent performance, we limit 8K simultaneous connections per server, they could do lot more, but never seen close to that anyway, usually at peaks is around 5K per box, however, thats pop3 - imap is only used for webmail. If you are only doing pop3, use INDEX=MEMORY as well, eg: mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%1n/%1.1n/%2.1n/% n/Maildir:INDEX=MEMORY But if using imap, then I understand dovecots director (we dont use it) is better solution
