Hi folks,

That one does sound a bit fishy. Are the index files even compatible to each other?
I'm sorry-- I made up the name Mail/imapd-indices myself. Only dovecot is using that directory.
Biggest single folder size is around 1.5GByte, no idea how many mails. Average access time to that folder from Thunderbird is about 15 seconds or so for initial loading, pretty much instant when opening any mail in there. Indexing it from scratch takes quite a bit longer though, about 7 minutes.
It does help some :) I should have mentioned that we are fairly well tied to mbox format for now (and hence my comment about scalability-- a 1.1GB mbox box is a sad thing; I wish I could remember all the reasons why we felt compelled to stay with mbox-- I'll have to go ask the sendmail guru.
