Hi, We have noticed that and make some tests with several Webmail and mail clients as Netscape, Outlook, vs courier-imap with the same mail clients.
First conclusions the PHPs' webmails are very slow except Squirrelmail because it use its own imap libraries instead of PHP-IMAP. But it's true Courier-IMAP it's much faster than dbmail-imap, we have add the mysql indexes as explained in this list, tuned the mysql config and got some improvements but never too fast as courier-imap. Then we have put the trace_level to 5 and make the same tests and we have noticed that to get each mail header dbmail-imap need 4 or 5 queries and in my opinion I think that it should be possible to get the same think with only one or two: By use a "SELECT * FROM messages" instead "SELECT field-1, field-2..." and/or change the table structure to put the mail header on "messages" whith the from:, to:, subject:, field and perhaps the body too, or just the body on messageblks. DBmail is the right way to make an isp mail solution with a lot of capabilities as CRM, etc, but we have to improve its speed and discuss to find the best way to do.
