How long does it take to do 1013 divided by 15?

You give me no details about your system, so I'll speak in generalities. I suspect you do not have server-side sorting enabled. This means SquirrelMail is fetching details on all 1013 messages to do the sort. If your IMAP server supports it, turn on server-side sorting (and threading, too). Try running a benchmark outside of SquirrelMail - use a regular IMAP client, or telnet.. See if the delay is being caused by your IMAP server directly. Do you use uw-imapd? Opening large mboxes takes a long time - - more efficient schemes exist (look into Maildir, or the Maildir-like backend that Cyrus uses). Are you using the Filters plugin? It's * S L O W *. If possible, do your filtering server-side at the time of delivery. (Hints: procmail, SIEVE if you use Cyrus) Make sure your IMAP server is running as a daemon, not started on demand via inetd or xinetd. Consider the use of imapproxy to cache connections.
