So you store your mail in mailbox format and you have your user/pass information in MySQL ? Do you use webmail, outlook/thunderbird or both ? Which features of Symantec Enterprise Vault do you / would you like to use the most ?

What are your goals ? To compress your messages ? To move them to a cheaper location ?

Following are the links that allow you to achieve those with Dovecot for example: namespace (archive mail in other namespace), zlib (compression).

Doing a quick search provides this solution: mailarchiva.

Hi,

To compress the mailbox. But the mails can be searched and read without decompressing, if possible.

Following are the links that allow you to achieve those with Dovecot for example: namespace (archive mail in other namespace), zlib (compression).

Doing a quick search provides this solution: mailarchiva.
Thanks for your links.

1)
Can "zlib" read the mails in "namespace"?

2)
I'll find a VM (a guest on Oracle VirtualBox) to test "mailarchiva". I will build a mail server on the VM. Ah another question, is it possible to find a large sample mailbox for testing?

TIA
