Imap does not work on big databases

I've tested imap with a fresh installation of alfresco community 3.2r. After resolving an issue (ETHREEOH-3199) it was working quite ok on the nearly empty database. I was able to see all folders of the database as imap folders in outlook express. After copying our production database into the test

Hi,

There is another product called OpsMailmanger for Alfresco that you could try.
It would be interesting to see your experience with it compared to Alfresco IMAP.

You can signup for a trial here: https://www.opsera.com/opsacct/registration/create

I'm having the same problem. The moment I threw real data at it, it lost the ability to build the directory tree on Outlook and Thunderbird. So, is this the final word? Is the IMAP feature simply not ready for prime time and OpsMailManager the only solution?

I've managed to run IMAP by using mount points to reduce the number of spaces available via imap. Nevertheless it takes a very long time to list the imap folders in outlook or synchronize them.

Mountpoints hmm…. I ran into a post elsewhere in the Forums where someone was trying to set the mount points to users individual homes. I tried it without success. The setting I used in alfresco-global.properties are below. As part of my evaluation of Alfresco, I dumped about 16 Gig worth of documents into Alfresco's respository to see if it would choke. So far, only IMAP seams to be stalled. Anyway I appreciate the reply. Any additional advice would be greatly appreciated.
