Notes 8.5.x Limitations

The below link details so of the core limitations in notes.  Notes is like any IT system and has its limitations.

The limitations in some cases are actually artificial, for example the Notes database size, this limit is what IBM will support up to, I have seen Notes databases with 80 Gb in.  Also please bear in mind that if you use DAOS then the database will be much smaller as all attachment get striped out and help out side the .nsf structure.  So a Notes mail file or other databases run within a DAOS environment will in fact be able to contain a massive amount of data.

My personal e-mail file is over 11 Gb, and so far has not casued the slightest problem, its even running of a not too piowerfull server.
