Dovecot beta 5 + dovecot lda, solaris 9 sparc.
Dovecot seems to use a lot of memory with large Maildir folders, ( 300-500 mb folder - 100-200 mb process), something I never noticed with similarly large mboxes. Is that expected behavior or are my observations incorrect.
It's not expected behavior. How many messages do the maildirs have?
The biggest folder I can find now has ~70000+ messages and when that's open the process grows to 116mb, I'm not seeing 200mb+ process sizes today, but I certainly have seen them, so I'll keep looking for patterns.
