Hi Stan,
Thanks for the suggestions. I am testing anything since the box has
a mere 496Mb of RAM and not too quick discs. It mayn't speed things up,
but is worth a try.
It is not using SSL, just a port that looks like it is. PLAIN auth is used.
These were already set.
$rcmail_config['default_host'] = 'localhost';
$rcmail_config['imap_auth_type'] = PLAIN;
