Hi, I am running a fair amount of stored e-mails on maildirs(10 GB+) in 846 folders that gets a fair amount of searching, and 20+ users accessing them, mostly via IMAP and a few POP3 accounts. I am running these on a Linode XEN server and have yet to hit any hard limits of "bare metal". User and V

Quoting Stan Hoeppner : Eric you missed up above that he's running Dovecot on an ESX cluster, so SSDs or any hardware dedicated to Dovecot isn't possible for the OP. Well, it is true I know nothing about vmware/ESX. I know in my virtual machine setups, I _can_ give the virtual instances acc
