Hi Miles,

Take the latest uw-imap from EPEL:

ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5Client/SRPMS/

You may want to use mix mail folders by default. This does increase performance substantially. The patch *** src/osdep/unix/Makefile.orig 2008-10-01 22:16:00.000000000 +0200

! CREATEPROTO=unixproto
  EMPTYPROTO=unixproto

! CREATEPROTO=mixproto

would do the job. Be warned however that a different default mail folder format (for new folders) has implications on your overall mail setup.
