Our imap/pop service is moving from UW imap to dovecot 0.99.11 on RHEL4. This is for around 200 users with lots of different email clients, e.g.: Windows: outlook, outlook Express, eudora, thunderbird, netscape OS X: mail, eudora, thunderbird Unix/Linux: evolution, thunderbird, pine, mutt Web: squirrelmail Apart from the example configuration file, I can't find any guides for optimal values to use for dovecot's many configuration options. A few that look like they might need changing are: login_process_size = 32 login_process_per_connection = yes login_processes_count = 3 mbox_dotlock_change_timeout = 30 auth_count = 1 client_workarounds Does anyone have any pointers to reasonable values for those or other settings? Thanks -- Ian

Timo should give some clues about settings, something like: 1) Server for < 100 users, 2) Server for < 1 000 users, 3) Server for > 10 000 users and more, etc. But about Your settings, I'm using: login_process_size = 128 login_process_per_connection = yes login_processes_count = 15 mbox_dotlock_change_timeout = 180imap_client_workarounds = outlook-idle netscape-eoh tb-extra-mailbox-sep delay-newmail pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh P.S.
