Thanks, but I think you misunderstood my question. I'm trying to figure out how much disk space I'll actually need for holding the index files. In other words, I'm looking for a planning factor to figure out how much disk to buy when I got to Fry's :-).

(I'll be using the Dovecot quota stuff, so index files are already not in the count.)
