I am currently running exim4/procmail/courier setup on
Debian box. It serves as a mail server for a few users
with large amount of mail. Some of the folders have
nearly 10,000 messages. Courier works very good on
small folders but have problem on larger one (and it is
old computer with only 32Mb RAM). My understanding is
that cyrus would perform much better due to
indexing/database used by cyrus, am I correct?
Also, Cyrus is certainly better at handling large
mailboxes than most everything else out there, but 32MB of
RAM might not be enough for it.
As a side note, what are the lower limits of memory/CPU
that people have run the Cyrus IMAP server on?
Good luck.

Based on cyrus documentation, imap server need up to 512 K RAM per
connection. Assuming 5 connection per user (mozilla default), it is up
to 2.5Mb per user, so with 32Mb Ram and only apache2/mail server running
I should be able to support up to 4 users without any problems.
Is anyone running cyrus on low memory computer? Any thoughts on this issue?
