You are completely right ! :-)
As soon as I put singleinstancestore to 'yes' in imapd.conf,
everything went as in 2.2.12: message file times are good (and BTW I
get back decent performance).
Actually, this *is* something I missed in the docs:
2.2.12:
If enabled, lmtpd and nntpd attempt to only write one copy of a message per
partition and create hard links, resulting in a potentially large
disk savings.
2.3.8:
If enabled, imapd, lmtpd and nntpd attempt to only write one copy
of a message per
partition and create hard links, resulting in a potentially large
disk savings.
Many thanks to all:
David for his solution,
Bron and Rob for their wonderful patches,
Best regards,
