Hello! I just did some tests. I wrote a simple php script, which connects to the cyrus imap server and then to the dbmail imap server and measures the time spending for the varios taks.
Both servers are more or less equal, regarding memory and cpu performance. The cyrus server is in a better situation, because he has all informations local avaiable. The dbmail server must authenticate to a external ldap server and the emails are stored in a external mysql server. I'm doing following actions: - authenticate as user - sort a folder with more than 1000 messages - fetch messages 10-30 The imapserver can do this in 0.1 seconds, the dbmail imap server needs 0.5 seconds. Which is 5 time slower. The dbmail server spends most time with fetching the headers. Just to let you know. -- Lars Kneschke Metaways Infosystems GmbH Pickhuben 4 20457 Hamburg Germany eGroupWare Training & Support ==> http://www.egroupware-support.net E-Mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.metaways.de Tel: +49 (0)40 317031-21 Fax: +49 (0)40 317031-81 Mobile: +49 (0)175 9304324
