Hi,

I did some researches and I could reproduce item: 1 - storage inbox in quick disks and other folders in cheaper ones.

Something like this:

namespace private { separator = . prefix = location = maildir:/tmp/%u/Maildir inbox = yes hidden = yes list = no # for v1.1+ }

namespace private { separator = . prefix = INBOX. location = maildir:/tmp/%u/Maildir2 }

In the disk:

drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4.0K Feb 24 07:08 Maildir drwx------ 10 vmail vmail 4.0K Feb 24 06:39 Maildir2

I don´t know how the indexes control messages in the second namespace (are those messages indexed ?)

Also, quota control was done by creating a 'maildirsize' at inbox level (Maildir/) - when messages are moved from one namespace to another, the file is updated.

Now, I was trying to solve item 3 with virtual folders, but I couldn´t. I don´t even know if it´s possible. (Unfortunatelly) I believe it´s not :(

Hi,

I was following the earlier namespaces discussion and I would like to repost a doubt. I need to have some kind of archiving, it means, store old messages into a cheap storage. But I couldn´t think any other solution than symlinks.

Then, I thought about store 'Sent Items' (as having old messages and less acessed). But I also needed to do with nfs and symlinks. So, it comes the namespaces discussion and a little brainstorm:

1. Could I have a namespace only with INBOX and the personal folders (drafts, sent items, etc) in another one - and those would be stored in huge sata disks while inbox in 300g sas disks ?

2. Could I maintain the prior configuration, but let the second namespace hidden and having the inbox subfolders (or any specific as sent items) as virtual folder ? I don´t know if this makes sense...

3. Could I have my normal Inbox and a folder (in another disk - ex. huge sata one) storing files older than 30 days and through virtual folders join these messages in a common virtual INBOX while acessing imap or pop3 ?

What do you thing, would you have another better approach ?

Best Regards, Fernando
