Hello to you all,

I'd like to ask about my intended application of Dovecot to create a folder-hierarchy for storing our enterprise emails, which are treated as live data rather than archives for compliance or occasional / reactive retrieval.

The data is presently not that large (a few gigabytes), but it is expected to grow rapidly. Up to this stage the data has been contained

in a Microsoft Exchange mailbox (2013), and then in an offline PST. The move to the offline PST was by necessity, as the large number of

folders, and depth of hierarchy to my best understanding caused the exchange server / outlook / evolution mail clients to begin to

malfunction. To cope with this the archive was broken up and the bulk stored in the offline PST and the most active components stored in

online Exchange mailboxes.

I have some understanding of the fs mbox format, and also the mitigations to be made for certain characters / strings. My main concern is whether Dovecot is likely to be able to cope well with a large number of folders / depth of hierarcy.

I will really appreciate any help / advice you can give.

Best regards,

Arnold Opio Oree
