Subject: [exim] Exim's Ability to Limit Client Email Download Amount
Hi all,

We have a client who has a large number (1000+) of users, sending ~25,000 emails per day. Inbox turnover is high, and the way in which they work requires the mail clients (Outlook in this case for the most part) to only download a set number (or time period) of emails. For example, each mail client would want 3000, or 30days worth of emails in their client at any one time.

Outlook and other mail clients do not support this, so it must be enforced at server level somehow. Is this something Exim can do? I have looked around quite a bit, and can see no mention of this as a feature as such. Any suggestions or assistance is welcome. Thanks.

Best Regards,
Dave Byrne
