Re-compiling does not remove already installed Mechanismsm. Mechanisms are Files which are dynamially loaded on startup and used if they are present. You can disable others than plain with "sasl_mech_list: plain" in your imapd.conf. But is this relly the reason? > I guess I should ask at the Cyrus SASL list... Use imtest to Login to your IMAP-Server and look where the time is spend. Look in the Logs for errors/warnings. -- Andreas ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
