Hi,
I'm going to migrate my company-mailserver to new hardware. I would like to take the opportunity to archive some older mail. But I would like to have it still accessible, would this be possible with dovecot ? I mean, I would like to put that older mail from different users (I got about 50 users) on some read-only media but mount that media in the users mail-dirs. That way I will have less to backup after I backup that old mail and store it safely away. I can't convince my users to really clean up their mailboxes, so I backup more than 100GB mail while the total backup is a bit more than 300GB.
Writing this I realise I could give each user a folder oldmail and symlink that to a read-only oldmail folder. Would this work ? I will have to find out how my backup-software can ignore the oldmail-folder.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Koenraad Lelong
