Actually, I was thinking more about a *server* limit rather than mailbox
|
|
format imposed limits; and that this limit would be for administrative
|
|
reasons rather than technical reasons.
|
|
|
|
IMAP already has a built in limit of 2^32 - 1. On many systems, a file
|
|
can't be larger than 2^31 - 1. Cyrus imposes a limit of around 100MB, and
|
|
I'm thinking about a similar limit in UW imapd.
