Hi, after the update from wu-imap to dovecot, opening e-mails on the imap server seems slower than with wu-imap. I haven't measured any speed yet, but clicking on a message in a folder takes sometimes a couple of seconds to open the mail. Any ideas or performance tips or information you need?

I run dovecot on folders with 5000+ messages and it's fine for me.

With 0.99.x there's not much you can do. The reason it takes a few seconds to open a mail is because new mail came to mailbox and Dovecot re-reads the mbox before opening the message. mbox_dirty_syncs = yes setting in 1.0-tests avoids this. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
