Is the Dovecot Object Storage plugin still available for purchase?
Clicking the store link [2] from this page [1] does not show any info about purchasing the plugin.

It's available, but at least for now we're only selling it to big customers.

Well how big? Would a univeristy with 25.000 users count as BIG? Or are we talking about HUGE?

Our typical projects have several million user accounts. I think 100k users is around the minimum.

Interesting. So che choice for object storage is driven by the number of accounts rather than the amount of data stored? For example I am heading towards 10 TB online with "just" 10k users. It wouldn't be worth?

Since they sell it with a pricing /user, the data stored should not matter to them.
I went to them to discuss 300-500,000 users, right after dovecot was acquired by OpenXChange. The terms were onerous, to say the least. It was straight per-user pricing with no flexibility for non-standard usage patterns. Mostly they wanted to talk about OpenXChange, in which I have absolutely no interest.
I walked away undecided: would I look at developing my own object storage back-end for dovecot and open-source it? Or would I abandon dovecot entirely? I'm still undecided.

Hi Timo,
could you provide some contact information ? I've tried getting in touch with OpenXChange and info@dovecot.fi but so far I haven't been lucky. I've got a project under way that will eventually grow to a couple million users if not more.
