Hi all,

When an IMAP or a POP client check every minute if there is a new mail awaiting,
does cyrus-imapd always look in the spool directory in the cyrus.* file ? or
does it looks in the DB files in the config directory ? What file is updated
when a new mail is stored ?

The cyrus.index file of the mailbox is opened and the header is read to check for new messages.

When a new message is stored, the cyrus.index and cyrus.cache files are updated, and possibly the corresponding quota file is updated.


I am just wondering putting the spool directory on a NFS server and I don't want
it overloaded by aggressive clients.

Bad idea.  Search the list archives for the reasons why.
