If you expect to have any folders with lots of messages, I would use mdbox rather than Maildir. NFS tends to have performance problems with lots of small files, and Maildir uses one file per message, where mdbox has a sort of compromise between lots of files and the huge files that mbox creates.
Thanks Patrick.
OK. back to zero again. Now this is new piece of information for me which tell me that mdbox is better than Maildir format for emails on NFS.
really? Only for NFS?
No I don't know I want to know which is best performance mail format for local storage of emails now that I read that mdbox performs better in NFS environment.
Thanks.
