Not to spark another discussion on why I am using UNIX type folders ;-) ... they worked well for me and for what I needed them for the last 8+ years with some minor disadvantages.
However, I suspect that a lot of the performance related issues (long startup and shutdown times, see also other postings http://community.pmail.com/forums/thread/11606.aspx) may be related to that UNIX type folder format. Are there any other experiences on larger setups with many folders on how long it takes to start up and shut down just to get a comparison?
Folders: 1000 + folders (nearly all folder UNIX mailbox folder type)
PC type: Dell Notebook P4mobile 1.7GHz, RAM 750MB, HD 120GB
Startup time: ~30 sec.
Shutdown time: ~30 sec
Thanks
