I just migrated from courier-imap to dovecot and dovecot is a lot faster. My only client is webmail on the same server as dovecot. Max ~10 users. Should I still run imapproxy like I did with courier? Does dovecot periodically empty the trash folder like courier does? I reduced the number of processes courier was running to save RAM and improve performance. Are there any performance tweaks I should consider for dovecot? - Grant

After switching to Roundcube at first the webmail was extremly slow, imapproxy helped for my use case (personal server, 8 users). I think roundcube is opening and closing the imap connection for every action but i still haven't looked into this.> Does dovecot periodically empty the trash folder like courier does? > > I reduced the number of processes courier was running to save RAM and > improve performance.

I'm using Roundcube too.>> Does dovecot periodically empty the trash folder like courier does?Is this the right choice here: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Expire - Grant
