Impressive !

You'll be my contact for next few months :)

How many Megabyte does the datamail size ? (total and per user?)

Have you tune your conf file following this link : 
http://wiki.dovecot.org/PerformanceTuning ?

Do you have Mail data or index on a NFS server (NAS) ? Actually that the 
point of interest, we would like to take advantage of our NAS because it 
manages so well automatic snapshot and incremental backup that would be 
a really good security for data mail users. Does anybody have such IMAP 
architecture ?

PS : awesome mailing list... so reactive !
