I guess you mean logging in with POP3? There the slowdown comes from
getting all messages' virtual sizes. So your preindexer could probably
do this by running pop3 for all users. If you use only a single UID for
users, you could do something like:
for user in `cat users`; do
export MAIL=maildir:/home/$user/Maildir
echo "quit" | /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3
done
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ env | grep MAIL
MAIL=maildir:/var/mail/testuser
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ echo "quit" | /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3
pop3(vmu1): Fatal: pop3_uidl_format setting is missing from config file
I have pop3_uidl_format correctly defined in the config file. I've also
tried to strace pop3, to find where it does look for it, but with no
success.
It gets it from environment:
POP3_UIDL_FORMAT=... pop3
In general all settings are passed in environment using uppercased
names.
In other words, you (Maciej) probably don't want to run 'pop3' directly. I
suspect you'd rather do:
/path/to/dovecot --exec-mail pop3
This will set up the environment for the 'pop3' executable the same way
dovecot normally does it.
Best,
Ben
