<html dir="ltr"><head></head><body style="text-align:left; direction:ltr;"><pre>Hello to you all,</pre><br><pre>I'd like to ask about my intended application of Dovecot to create a folder-hierarchy for storing our enterprise emails, which are treated as live data rather than archives for compliance or occasional / reactive retrieval.</pre><br><pre>The data is presently not that large (a few gigabytes), but it is expected to grow rapidly. Up to this stage the data has been contained</pre><pre>in a Microsoft Exchange mailbox (2013), and then in an offline PST. The move to the offline PST was by necessity, as the large number of</pre><pre>folders, and depth of hierarchy to my best understanding caused the exchange server / outlook / evolution mail clients to begin to</pre><pre>malfunction. To cope with this the archive was broken up and the bulk stored in the offline PST and the most active components stored in</pre><pre>online Exchange mailboxes.</pre><br><pre>I have some understanding of the fs mbox format, and also the mitigations to be made for certain characters / strings. My main concern is whether Dovecot is likely to be able to cope well with a large number of folders / depth of hierarcy.</pre><br><pre>I will really appreciate any help / advice you can give.</pre><br><pre>Best regards,</pre><br><pre>Arnold Opio Oree</pre><pre>Chief Executive Officer</pre><pre>Parallax Digital Technologies</pre><br><a href="mailto:arnoldoree@parallaxdt.com"><pre>arnoldoree@parallaxdt.com</pre></a><br><br><a href="http://h5lm.mjt.lu/lnk/AMIAAEGlQjYAAAAAAAAAAKAFynQAASKA_AUAAAAAAAf-tABdE8ON_53QKyUWReWLsFk9RdKv5wAHm5I/1/1StxfYclAxivl4n96fAoqw/aHR0cDovL2g1bG0ubWp0Lmx1L2xuay9BTVFBQUVMbklRZ0FBQUFBQUFBQUFHbnBWYmtBQVNLQV9BVUFBQUFBQUFmLXRBQmRFOExYdHdQenZ1WlFRX1dvYVpqcDJVVXZjQUFIbTVJLzEvbV90aFFRRTZvRFQyLWg1R01teG42US9hSFIwY0RvdkwzZDNkeTV3WVhKaGJHeGhlR1IwTG1OdmJR"><pre>http://www.parallaxdt.com</pre></a><br><br><pre>tel : +44 (0) 333 577 8587</pre><pre>fax : +44 (0) 20 8711 2477</pre><br><pre>Parallax Digital Technologies</pre><pre>78A Hatfeild Mead</pre><pre>London</pre><pre>SM4 5PF</pre><br><pre>Parallax Digital Technologies is a trading name of Parallax Global</pre><pre>Limited.
