Hi,
For "Sent Items" etc, KMail works fine (I've been using it for the last 2
years as part of Kontact).
However, it does not allow you to apply client-side filters to move mail
directly into IMAP folders! I have to put into local folders first.
However, that's not so bad when you consider I have over 50,000 in my
Debian-User archive and over 30,000 in the Ubuntu-User archive. I really
should delete both of these, but I'm interested in how this 800MHz Mini-ITX
server scales: it can take 20 seconds to show the list of mail in
Debian-User.
I use Exim 4 Heavy+TLS with MailScanner using ClamAV with MySQL-hosted virtual
users (only one real non-root user!), Courier-IMAP+SSL.
Currently only a dozen accounts, but over 100,000 mails in total.
It's also my firewall, has an apache admin suite and is my home DNS/DHCP
server.
I am writing documentation for this, and you will hopefully be able to find
more info at the website for the charity that I work for.
If anyone is interested, I shall post here when finished.
Cheers,
TreeBoy
