Thank-you for your reply rsharpe. I think what you say, might be a good idea if I had users in one Timezone.
We have users in almost all countries - and all the users are active and have very heavy usage. The smallest mailbox I know is about 2500 Emails!
I am not a Senior Linux Admin and have limited experience working in a Production Environment like this - which is why, probably, I am trying to take extra care.
If no previously implemented solution exist then I was hoping to learn how the messages are stored in Zimbra. This way I can probably conduct a few experiments...
Thank-you,
Sincerely,
Chintan Zaveri.
