I went to them to discuss 300-500,000 users, right after dovecot was acquired by OpenXChange. The terms were onerous, to say the least. It was straight per-user pricing with no flexibility for non-standard usage patterns. Mostly they wanted to talk about OpenXChange, in which I have absolutely no interest.
I walked away undecided: would I look at developing my own object storage back-end for dovecot and open-source it? Or would I abandon dovecot entirely? I'm still undecided.

Interesting. So che choice for object storage is driven by the number of accounts rather than the amount of data stored? For example I am heading towards 10 TB online with "just" 10k users. It wouldn't be worth?
