Hello,

Finally managed to sync an outlook client to dovecot. Looks like it's working. Questions though ; :

What are the limits? Number of Folders ? Number of mails per folder ?

E.g. for a client of mine, I know that she uses about 5Gb of data at the moment (and counting). Now, this same outlook client consists of the following :

1. about thirty (30) folders ranging from 1000 messages per folder to 100 messages per folder

2. A "Sent Items" folder with about 4,000 messages (and counting)

3. A "Deleted Items" folder with about 5,500 messages (and counting)

System, now, is a CentOS 5.5 32-bit on an hp/compaq dl360 (G3) with RAID1 76,3Gb Disks UW320 and four (4Gb) of RAM

Output of "dovecot -n" :

# 1.2.16: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-194.17.4.el5 i686 CentOS release 5.5 (Final) ext3 base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_path: /var/log/dovecot/dovecot.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot/dovecot-info.log ssl_parameters_regenerate: 48 verbose_ssl: yes login_dir: /var/run/dovecot//login login_executable: /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_greeting: * Dovecot ready * login_max_processes_count: 32 mail_location: maildir:/var/MailRoot/domains/%d/%n/Maildir mail_plugins: zlib auth default: verbose: yes debug: yes debug_passwords: yes passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/dovecot/passwd passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: static args: uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/home/vmail/%u userdb: driver: passwd

Any answer would be greatly appreciated since I am trying to know the systems' limits.

Thank you kindly all,
