Hi Oliver, Thanks alot for your reply. I was lost on this one! > > I would like to switch back to a filesystem based e-mail backend > (maybe dovecot) - feels better to me. Furthermore I think that dbmail > has no good pgsql support (it has some bugs with IMAP) - > maybe you would like to try mysql instead (*hirgs*). I think that I may have to switch back to Mysql then. I heard that PostgreSQL is more scalable than Mysql. But I am not an experienced database user, so, please forgive my little knowledge. Why do you want to switch back to to a filesystem based e-mail backend? I suppose storing emails in a database should be more scalable and flexible in the long run? > > If you would like I can show you my configuration files and table > structures. Of course, I would like to see your configuration files. In fact, I am dying to see it. I am planning my current setup to be used for a long term basis in a production environment for a very large user base. Me and my team are currently just designing and testing it out. It might take some time before we can put this server in production. Since I am very new to database terminology, how scalable is a database in terms of the data storage size. I mean suppose, we have 20000 users each with a quota of 1 GB. What will eventually happen if they all used up their quotas. That will be about 20 TB in size!!
