We are no way as big as you but in terms users but our user vs mailbox size is
large.
Dovecot:
50 users
425Gb (mdbox + zlib)
Note solr only indexes folders within a mailbox when a search is done on them so size can vary and most people dont
realise that the default type of search in Thunderbird is on Sender/Recipients/Subject which happens localy and not on
the server so you dont get solr indexing unless the user does a custom search and forces remote. Webmail systems though
will tend to do server searches.
Solr:
Num Docs: 17m
Size: 4.5GB

Hi,
Could anyone share any numbers about real life solr database
size/cpu/memory usage for
certain amounts of messages ?
We have now over 5TB of maildirs (about 5 000-6 000 concurrent imap clients)
and I'm trying to guess how much hardware might be needed.
