OK, fair point. So let me ask this please.
If I migrate with big-dirs DISABLED, then I recompile to enable big-dirs
AND I move some accounts into subfolders "a", "b", "c", etc while making
appropriate adjustments in vpopmail table, is that an appropriate way to
control this risk?
THANKS!

Please note that creating 7000 sub directories in a single directory will

I'm using a script to add thousands of user accounts as part of a

The scripting is working fine, I see the accounts correctly in
MySQL's vpopmail table.
However, I'm seeing vadduser create a hierarchy of folders after
about the first 80-100 users are added. Using subfolders A-z,0-9.
I only have about 7,000 users to manage and would rather NOT subtree
(whatever the term is) this user hierarchy.
What logic controls when vadduser decides to subtree the folders for
a particular domain?
Or, should I just let my script run out all the migrations, create
the user/Maildirs wherever, and then start moving them to the root of
the domain folder? That leaves some nasty work in SQL to clean up
the home folder field!
Hi,
Configure vpopmail with --disable-users-big-dir.
--disable-users-big-dir Disable hashing of user directories.

Rick
Thanks Rick and Jon!
