A friend of mine passed me this[1] cause I'm recommending him Dovecot. My personal experience is very different to the one in that benchmark. I will appreciate similar links from those of you who had benchmarked Dovecot against other IMAP servers.
I'm conscious that my personal experience is far to be a objetive comparison. I switched from UW-Imap/Mbox to Dovecot/Maildir a box with 45k local users, 3.5MB/s sustained IMAP/POP traffic in work hours. The main performance gain is from mbox -> maildir switching. Anyway the users (and myself) "perceive" a good performance with the new setup. Regards, maykel [1] http://www.isode.com/whitepapers/mbox-benchmark.html
