[Dovecot] Shared mailboxes / IMAP folder performance
Hello,
how performant is an IMAP shared folder / mailbox if it contains 2 million mails? Is it possible two have such a quantity of mails in a shared folder? Is it possible to search that shared folder for mails in a fast way?
Regards Sebastian

there might no ultimate answer for this ,cause it might not depend on the number of mails only, there might be other complex setup stuff involved, at the end with which client you like to search, why not simply test it with a test server, shouldnt take much time

Thanks for your quick reply. As a client Thunderbird, Evolution and Outlook should be used. In rare cases maybe mobile clients on iOS and Android. So it is principle possible to have it performant? I asked because I wanted to know if it makes sense to setup a test system for that.

speculate ,in an "ideal" dove server setup, the clients will get your bottlenecks
