So two hours after clicking on an IMAP folder the contents of that folder were still not displayed correctly? > Saving the whole Maildir into a tar on the same partition also took only > 2 hours before.

Then something is seriously wrong. The fact that you "forced" the Wheezy Dovecot package into a Squeeze system may have something, if not everything, to do with your problem (somehow I missed this fact in your previous email). Debian testing/sid packages are compiled against newer system libraries. If you check various logs you'll likely see problems related to this. This is also why the Backports project exists--TESTING packages are compiled against the STABLE libraries so newer application revs can be used on the STABLE distribution. Currently there is no Dovecot 2.x backport for Squeeze. I would suggest you thoroughly remove the Wheezy 2.0.15 package and install the 1.2.15-7 STABLE package. Read the documentation for 1.2.x and configure it properly. Then things will likely work as they should. -- Stan
