dovecot & Apple Mail & maildir & lots of Mail

[Thierry de Montaudry]

Hi,

Using Mac Mail with 9 mail accounts, more than 150 folders, and 1000s of mails, I get far too many problems lately, and not only on dovecot, so I would say the problem lies with Mac Mail, and even more if you installed Yosemite. As far as I know dovecot handle very well accounts with 100000s email even if the size is very big.

And BTW, looking for a fast and reliable mail client for Mac, to replace Mac Mail, any suggestion?

Regards,
Thierry
