dovecot - Oct 2004 - Slow squirrelmail login/IMAP CPU 80%

I've been having a problem with Dovecot on Fedora Core 2 with
SquirrelMail on the same system. 

When ever I login through SquirrelMail the imap process consumes around
80% of my CPU and the login takes forever (about 10 minutes). 1 

Once I do manage to login, everything is fine and can even log out and
back in without issue. 

Has anyone encountered this?

Thanks,

Nelson

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm about the set up Squirrel on a system where 
that's not tolerable at all. (Game server.) I'll let you know if I run
into
this.

Is this Dovecot 0.99.11?

How large mailboxes do you have? Is this maildir or mbox? Sounds like 
it spends a lot of time indexing the mailbox.

Actually it is 0.99.10. I just upgraded to 0.99.11 and I seem to have
the same problem.

That's what I was thinking as well. I have about 6000 messages spread
around 3 folders. I brought that down to about 50 messages and things
are looking much better right now. I was hoping it wouldn't come to
that.

I'm running maildir format. Is mbox any faster?
