Re: [Dovecot] Can't got mail by OUTLOOK for a half million mails account

Depending on Outlook pst format, I know the old (outlook 2000) format can't have more than 16383 or 32767 (can't remember which) messages in a single folder. Ran into this problem at our office once. Best solution was to use sieve to split the mail archive into folders by year and by month. This makes it easier to copy the archive offline as well.

Does any one has some good idea to deal with this problem?
