I don't know how either are polling the database, but shouldn't RoundCube only be querying a maximum of the "rows per page" setting under Personal Settings each time you navigate to or in a folder?

You can have a partially-persistent imap connection if imapproxy is used on the backend, or are you talking Apache's not-persistence? _______________________________________________ List info: http://lists.roundcube.net/users/
