Re: [Dovecot] DoveCot compression to save HDD space

Compression will save you storage space, but will cost you CPU processing power. If you have many users, you may want to trow a cheap raid1 in your server before upgrading your CPU to expensive a quad-core

But is a nice idea for a small workgroup server

Hello,

I am wondering if there are any possibilities to save HDD space used by emails by compressing content (not just attachements).

It would be many 1000s email boxes and probably each using lot of space so would be easier if we can just compress emails somehow.

Thanks, Cristian
