One of my clients has requested all emails from several users in their domain. I am having to search the archive by to, from for each user. The problem is this is a lot of messages. One user had over 75K messages, and some of those have attachments. We are talking about Gigs of data here. At first when I tried to download, it would timeout ("Says Oops, there was an issue that caused this page to malfunction") , then I increased the timeout limit to 30 minutes, and then even that wasn't long enough. My server is not slow, it has 6 x 250GB Samsung SSD drives in raid 6. Is there any faster way to pull these messages, or do I just need to increase the timeout limit to 24 hours or something else obscene. Any thoughts.
