I recently setup Courier-IMAP on a Ultra2 with 2x300Mhz CPUs because the old slower hardware and wu-imapd/mbox setup was just getting too slow. For the most part the combination of newer hardware and Maildir was a big difference, especially on bigger mailboxes.
The problem now is that on the really large mailboxes (the cut off seems to be around 9K messages) the sort capability causes problems with IMP because it takes so long. If I disable server-side sorting it's magnitudes faster, but IMP loses some functionality. I don't think there's much I can do since it just takes a long time for imapd to sort 9K messages, but I thought I'd ask anyway incase I'm missing something. Recompiling the package wouldn't help anything, right? Would a different imap daemon do better? Thanks for any input, Jim ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/
