Could someone explain what Cyrus-IMAP does with /var/imap/db? I
upgraded to the latest Cyrus-IMAP 2.0.16 RPMs (for Red Hat) and
everything seems to work fine. I have been testing this IMAP server
setup with the intention of deploying it in the indeterminate
future. The largest test account has less than 100 short emails on
this machine. But I just noticed that there is currently a file
/var/imap/db/__002.db that is 11MB in size. Other smaller __nnn.db
files are also present. But why should there be a file this huge in a
system that cannot possibly have more than 1 MB of emails? What is it
for? What does that say about disk usage when this machine has to
support thousands of emails? I wish Cyrus-IMAP was a little better
documented.
