Courier IMAP does not have any longterm cache or options are somewhere in install docs. I think it caches only UIDs. IMAP SEARCH CHARSET UTF-8 BODY "a" times (uncached search and cached in memory): 1000 messages - 7592,02/368,79 ms 2500 messages - 25291,5/1116,46 ms 5000 messages - 51136,95/2183,65 ms 10000 messages - 151342,79/6093,71 ms 25K messages - 414510,52/22609,8 ms 50K msgs, 1.5GB of data - my patience is not that good 'IMAP SEARCH CHARSET UTF-8 BODY "a"' is one of the most aggressive searches. Header search might be more efficient, but courier does not cache message info on filesystem, so it still has to read heads of all messages in Maildir and hits I/O and directory with lots of files access issues. IMAP connection does not timeout in my test setup. Maybe Zend Platform does something to timeouts or server keeps connection alive by returning some results before search ends. I think I still can timeout connections with THREAD. If your primary searches are in headers, try dovecot. It has larger cache than courier and can be configured to match Courier namespace, so your users should not notice IMAP change if folder subscriptions are ported. I think Cyrus squatter might improve TEXT and BODY search, but I haven't tested it yet and it's not gonna work in your setup.
