Thanks again for all your help > Like devin suggested, change your mail store format to maildir and get a whole host of benefits over mbox. All filesystems in Centos 5 have indexed/hashed directories so you should not have problems with thousands of email in each mailbox. As for your lda, choose whatever you can support. I don't know whether you have to generate filter recipes or not but take those into account if you do. I personally am using postfix and dovecot lda with sieve support.
