Hi, I need some advice on how best to design a system. I want to implement pub/sub to notify users of changes to various mailboxes. These are shared mailboxes, there are about 400 of them in the system total. Some of them tend to be huge, about 20,000+ items in them. I want to have the users subscribe to that specific mailbox topic and get notifications when mails are added or removed, that way I only have to refresh the whole mailbox at startup, after that refresh it will just add/remove on the fly whenever it receives notifications through the subscription. 
 
 The question is this, should I go with a topic for each of the 400 mailboxes, the users who share these mailboxes will subscribe to it, so there will be topics such as "/topic/sharedMBX1", "/topic/sharedMBX2", etc... Or should I go with a single topic, say "/topic/MBXUpdates" and use a message selector, so when the user creates a TopicSubscriber, it will be created with the message selector "sharedMBX2" to only get message notifications for that specific mailbox.
 
 I guess what it comes down to is, is it easier to manage 400 topics or just manage one single topic that gets 400 times the messages as it would if there were 400 topics?
 
 Thanks in advance
