Thanks for your response,
I increased the RAM to 2 GB and there is a small increase to improve service.
Based on their comments, I noticed through IOSTAT (% util) the Disk I /
O is high and reaches 100 when using any of these webmail accounts that
have more than 1500 messages

The question is whether there is any configuration to EXT3 or Courier-IMAP, and
so do not saturate the Disk I / O. ?
If adding more RAM may I help you?
Thanks
