I have run cyrus-imapd in both configurations, one server with between 20 |
| 8 |
and 40K emails daily, 100+ users. Never had any problems, it just worked. |

I have not, however, benchmarked using mysql for authentication in a high |
| 10 |
volume environment. It would seem to me, however, that doing lookups via a |
| 11 |
piped connection to a cached query would be more efficient than filesystem |
| 12 |
calls. Can't say for sure though. There are some imap proxy utilities to |
| 13 |
cache connections but I have never messed with them. |

A couple of heads up on the client side.... |

The latest kmail has support for sieve, but you have to directly edit the |
| 18 |
sieve scripts. On the other hand kmail chokes on altnamespace when adding |
| 19 |
folders. Kmail allows you to set acls on mailboxes but does not support |
| 20 |
all of the acls in cyrus-imapd, post/admin for examples ;( |

Horde works very well for users maintaining sieve scripts and passwords. |

I have never used web-cyradm, I always used a perl package called |
| 25 |
webseive.pl, which handles sieve very well as well as password changes, |
| 26 |
setting acls, etc... |
