Would appreciate some advice on this issue.
I'm running dovecot version 1.0.10 on ubuntu 8.04 LTS.
Ancient and no longer supported. Upgrade to the latest 1.2.x or 2.x
that you can get from your distro ecosystem, or install from source if
necessary.
. As well as educating the user who attached a 4GB
file. That's just plain nuts and smacks of ignorance. Honestly I'm
surprised Outlook didn't crash when attaching such a file.

Hi,
Hi Alex
I have an fc18 system with postfix and dovecot-2.1.13 and have

The system is running now, so I'm trying to set up thunderbird to

I changed the vsz_limit to 512MB and it seems better, but I'm still

most used one.
According to the wiki, vsz_limit only affects login processes, not IMAP
processes, which is odd

Dear All,
I have noticed that dovecot.index is not generated straight away if you have
just a few emails in the mailbox. Instead of that dovecot.index.log is
modified and accessed by clients.
Only if the number of email reaches some level

Do both clients experience the 5-6 second delay?
Memory usage: 1.2 Gbyte of 6 Gbyte (Can I increase cache memory size
for Dovecot?)
No, but you should change to:
mmap_disable=no
and add:

I upgraded my dovecot server (1.2 - 2.1), from debian
backport because it was a little slow (wait 5-6 sec) when I opened some
mail (but not every mail).
Unfortunately, the mail open speed didn't
increase.
I think it's an index

Peer are you using NFS or a cluster filesystem? Linux on the hosts or
other?

So this is a step in the right direction. But still far less than

As I said, you can migrate users individually. You could easily do 10

Ok, good.
Thank you I will try this. I did read that when using Postfix and
Dovecot, both systems should use a matching locking mechanism, which I
had already

The usual meaning of 'lock contention' is 'two processes legitimately

Sure, this is the textbook definition, and software designers will
discuss it as such in that context. However, when systems users use the
term, in a

The reason is because
