Many E-mail service providers use the Courier IMAP +server to easy handle hundreds of thousands of mail accounts. With its +built-in IMAP and POP3 aggregation proxy, the Courier IMAP server has +practically infinite horizontal scalability. In a proxy configuration, +a pool of Courier servers service initial IMAP and POP3 connections +from clients. They wait to receive the client's log in request, look +up the server that actually holds this mail account's mailbox, and +establish a proxy connection to the server, all in a single, seamless +process. Mail accounts can be moved between different servers, to +achieve optimum resource usage. |
