That's what I said. But if the daemon access a maildir rather than a
mailbox, no copying should occur.

Why? should I divide the linux-kernel to multiple folders so that
searches will be less easy? There is no problem with 200MB or 20GB
databases.

With the correct software a 486 with an ISA ide drive can be a perfectly
good mail server (and not require 5 minutes for handling large mail
