I'm looking for the fastest mail server software currently available. I'm looking to store around 900GB of mail. I need to be able to perform full body searches across all messages via IMAP and get a response within a reasonable time. Currently I am using Cyrus and I seem to be getting at its very limit even with enabling the squatter index.

I have looked at Zimbra and it ticks every box part from the fact it does not support per user flags across public folders.

Have you considered using a mail journaling solution? Searching across that large a dataset seems like it would be difficult with what you're proposing.

My preferred method is to use MailArchiva in its free or commercial version. It works with Exchange, Sendmail, Zimbra, etc. and is powered by the Apache Lucene search engine.

This would leave you free to use the mail solution of your choice and not have to impose such a hefty search requirement.
