I went from UoW IMAP to dovecot -- unlike Cyrus, it didn't require I reformat my email boxes (all in unix 'mbox format', as they all started as Unix-mbox's)... into it's custom format. And Dovecot is very fast....
Tbird gets a bit bogged down when I first open email after leaving it for a while (as the imap store with about ~250 subscribed folders), but with only about 75-80 active ones (that get email when I'm not connected). But that's the only time it gets slow -- and the slowdown is on single-threaded TB, not on the server... you can also install an indexing sieve filter for higher perf, but I haven't needed that (and I don't think TB will make use of it)..for cross folder searching and such...
Tnx. I guess I'll go with Dovecot then. This is a new systems, so there's no worry about converting etc., but everyone who has email also has a regular Linux account, so that's one benefit of Cyrus that won't make much difference to me. All these questions recently are about a server I'm building at work. It's both file & print and email. It'll serve employees in both Canada & U.S. There's already VPN access & IPv6 via Cisco router and will also have site-site VPN. The only problem I haven't been able to resolve so far is printing to a Samsung printer from users running Windows 7. It works fine with XP and the other two printers work fine from either. This server is replacing one running Windows 7 and the performance improvement is dramatic. Also, the W7 server could be flakey at times. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
