I'm reconsidering my current setup (postfix/courier) for imap and I was
doing some research on performance comparisons between imap server
setups. I stumbled on this article just just about fell of my chair
laughing when I read the last article on future benchmarking tests to
perform:
research.microsoft.com/pubs/138302/lisa.pdf
Considering I have close to a hundred folders or more, and an average of
50,000 emails in each (yes, not good, and I am working on archiving but
it won't help _that_ much) with nearly 200,000 in just one! I got a real
kick out of the comment that "no sane email user would have more than
21,000 emails in a folder" - that would make me certifiable :D Oh, and
that most email wouldn't be more than a GB or so... mine's edging 6GB
already...
So, all jokes aside, I contemplated that I would make an ideal test case
to the extreme for benchmarking imap servers. Anyone have any suggestions
on what to test/how? Anyone have some tools they have created for a
similar challenge? I have my own ideas, but if anyone wants me to try
something I'd be willing to give it a shot.
--As for the rest, it is mine.
No idea, but as someone who recently had to trim one of his mail folders
(same setup) as it was having trouble with over 210,000 messages, I'd be
interested in your results. ;)
