I would strongly suggest using mdbox instead. AFAIK clusterfs' aren't I'd recommend mdbox as well, with a healthy rotation size. The larger files won't increase IMAP performance substantially but they can make backup significantly quicker.

I'm considering migrating to mdbox... wondering what you consider 'healthy' rotation size.

I generally try to avoid changing defaults whenever possible, so, do you consider the default size of 2MB too small?

I guess though that it depends on usage. Since we get a decent number of large attachments, maybe that is a good reason to bump it up?

Thanks,
