Hello,
I am trying to use dovecot (v. 2.0.11) and postfix (v. 2.7.3) together. The email server is an ldap client and user's home directories on NFS server are mounted using autofs.
As I understand, Maildir performance is better than mbox type, so I'd like to use Maildir instead of mbox.
If you expect to have any folders with lots of messages, I would use mdbox rather than Maildir. NFS tends to have performance problems with lots of small files, and Maildir uses one file per message, where mdbox has a sort of compromise between lots of files and the huge files that mbox creates.
