I recently switched from uw-imap on RedHat 8 to Courier-imap on Gentoo. My own 22k item mailstore was becoming painfully slow, now using Courier the performance is more than acceptable again. I was previously using one of the php accelerators, with no discernable improvement, so it's no longer part of the setup. In the new setup I am also using up-imapproxy (http://www.imapproxy.org/) which saves squirrelmail having to login and logout of the imap server each time it wants to do anything. I can definitely recommend Courier as a worthwhile improvement over uw. I looked at Cyrus, but as all the users on my network are also shell account users it seemed unnecessarily complex. ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
