Hello,

Yes, symlinking works. I am currently using it, but wanted to check if 
there was a more elegant solution.

I have one mailbox which is over 12GB and another around 3GB (both IMAP) 
that I am currently using. I do have one minor issue though, accessing 
the larger mailbox and responding to mails has a small delay that 
wasn’t there earlier, which is why I wanted to know if there has been 
a change or update since 2012 that I did not know about.
