Well as I've mentioned... on looses the info in the From_ lines (that is the RCPT TO address and the date of arrival) because Evolution does not correctly migrated them (actually I'm not sure whether IMAP would allow that). Perhaps you mean the "^From " mbox delimiter line. Yes I meant them (the _ should have denoted the space)
You do not need mbox delimiters in maildir files. I know..
Did you mention whether or not you're using maildir? The reason is mainly that I have gazillions of mail in a ~ 60 GB archive... even with an fs optimised for small files I'd loose far too much space per mail than I want to afford.
Also, AFAIK full text search becomes much solver in maildir (as you need to open/close endless files). On the longterm view I want to have a look into things like dbmail/archiveopteryx... for the giant local archive... and keep dovecot "only" as the internet mail server.
Ideally dovecot would have such an SQL backend...or incorporate that part from Archiveopteryx.
Cheers, Chris.
this may help too
