This is accurate. The limitation is really the client. Horde webmail or GNOME's Evolution will merrily bop around in 100,000+ message mailboxes all day long; zippity zip. MS-Outlook and Thunderbird, in my experience, will have all kinds of performance issues. So it depends entirely on your client mix. -- Adam Tauno Williams <mailto:[email protected]> GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA ------------------------------------------ Cyrus: Info Permalink: https://cyrus.topicbox.com/groups/info/T64a11791842462ba-M68a041d5fd7415eb21152d1b Delivery options: https://cyrus.topicbox.com/groups/info/subscription
