[Dovecot] Improving interaction/performance with Mail.app?
Hello, I'm using dovecot as my IMAP server just for me, and I access it from three machines, all using Apple Mail.app. Unfortunately the performance is really bad, especially when deleting or copying a lot of messages. I know this is the fault of Mail.app, whose IMAP support leaves a lot to desire, but I was wondering if there could be some dovecot configuration tricks that make the interaction smoother. Thanks a lot, Alan -- Alan Schmitt <http://alan.petitepomme.net/> The hacker: someone who figured things out and made something cool happen. .O. ..O OOO -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

If crystal ball is broken, please supply more info to allow me to get it fixed.
