dovecot - Jul 2007 - About a simultaneous session of Dovecot(IMAP)

The construction of the mail server with Postfix+Dovecot(IMAP) is examined. 

?The number of mailboxes is about 1000. 
?The reception protocol uses IMAP and the Maildir form. 
?OS is Redhat Enterprise Linux ES4. 
?MUA uses Outlook Express. 
?Postfix and Dovecot use latest Ver. 

In the above-mentioned environment, it is understanding person. how 
much the number of maximum sessions (number of people) that can be 
used at the same time becomes from MUA
(When grounds of the calculation are understood, it is the best. )

Maybe you should tell what kind of Hardware is running your Mailsystem
(CPU, RAID?, NIC)?

The assumed hardware spec becomes the following. 

CPU   :Intel Xeon 5160 3GHz 1x4MB L2 Dual Core 
Memory:4GB
RAID  :RAID1+0
NIC   :100Mbps

My best regards.
