I have been trying to determine the most appropriate way to set up a mail
server for a small business and have run across a couple of articles
("Implementing IMAP with UW imapd" - http://www.carumba.com/imap/ and
"Setting Up imapd" -http://info.rutgers.edu/Techdir/imap.html) which mention
that the "mbx" format is better than the default "Unix Spool" format. I am
trying to find answers to the following questions, but if there are sources
I could read let me know as well.
Does anyone know what format the system uses when it moves the files out of
the spool and into the users home directory and is mbx superior in terms of
speed?
One article mentions the mbx format uses binary data in the file, does this
pose problems restoring corrupted files or is it easy to restore the files
if something screws up?
The first article above changes the home directory of the users mail to
avoid using NFS with mbx, anyone with more, well any, experience with NFS
and imap have any clues as to why you want to avoid nfs in this setup?
Lastly from what I have read UW imapd does not support shared or public
shares, is this correct?
Thanks,
Chad
