Hm, I can't see a auth master socket in your pasted configuration. (BTW:
send only `dovecot -n` output.) So I guess, you let Qmail store the
messages into the Maildir.
If you would use deliver, Dovecot's LDA <http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA>,
deliver would keep your index files up to date. This should reduce the
delay at login time.
