Coda is a great concept, but in its current state it has some issues with Maildirs. If I remember well, I had ran into the following issues trying to move my maildirs to coda: 1. Coda has directory size limit of 4096 entries. So if you have bigger Maildir you will have to either split it to smaller ones, or do some source level patching and recompile coda. 2. In order for any file stored on coda volume to be visible to file system it needs to be first available in local cache on the client. So (unless you support it by external indexing) opening big Maildir for the first time in your mail client can be an expensive process - as it may require fetching every message from this Maildir to local cache (if it's not already there). 3. I had also some issues with procmail not supporting delivery to coda hosted Maildirs. The options were to change procmail or use different mail filtering solution. I've chosen the latter.Received on 2014-08-01 00:25:16
