Not courier and not UW IMAP. It is possible that dovecot caching might be faster than Courier maildirs or UW IMAP mbx/unix mailboxes, but I haven't tried to profile dovecot yet. If you use UW IMAP and have large mailboxes, change server before complaining that mailbox access is slow. UW has worst IMAP SELECT time on 50k messages/1.6GB mailbox. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Advice-for-people-with-large-mailboxers-tp17780292p17786088.html Sent from the squirrelmail-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
