Hi,
Would appreciate some advice on this issue.
I'm running dovecot version 1.0.10 on ubuntu 8.04 LTS.
Recently a user created a draft email in their client (outlook) and added a 4GB attachment. The email was uploaded to the draft imap folder on the server. After this the client would then go into a endless synchronisation loop every time outlook was opened. For example in the most recent case 400GB of data was downloaded to the client when the user left outlook synchronising for 5 days.
I know this may be a bug with the client or client os however I would like to know if there is a way to limit the size of individual emails that can be stored in the imap store to prevent users creating huge drafts. There is no reason they should need an email draft of this size as it can never be sent through SMTP.
Thanks
