Ok, I have gotten myself in a bit of a situation with my personal email
server.
I've been running Postfix as a mail server for many years, it's currently
running on a CentOS 5 system. I've also been using pine (or alpine) to
read my email for decades. Well, it appears that Postfix may have a
maximum limit of 2G on mailbox size and I'm bumping up against it. The
system itelf has a 1T disk with lots for ree space.
So, I need to overhaul how I handle email (something I've been meaning to
to for years now). I would like to convert to an IMAP style mail handling
so I can use something like Thunderbird for writing ad-hoc mail sorting.
Currently the mailbox and all the "folders" that things are saved in are
in mbox format. That should probably change to Maildir.
This server has been so stable for so many years that I've forgotten most
of what I learned about mail servers since I set it up.
So, I really need some help in figuring out which way to go and how to get
there. Pointers to good documentation appreciated.
I also understand if you want to scold me for such laxity, but "the
cobbler's children have no shoes"

It's not what I know that counts.
It's what I can remember in time to use.
