Hi,I wonder if it's normal behaviour that indexes created in memory have longcreation time.
No, but the problem has more to do with caching. If you use a client that fetches the same data often (such as message headers/sizes) then Dovecot will do the same work for each request. In that case in-memory indexes perform poorly. This is more of a problem with webmail clients and less of a problem with Outlook/Thunderbird.
If you're using POP3 that also performs poorly without indexes with v1.0. v1.1 makes it better.
Other problem is that indexes created on nfs sometimes get crushed and Ineed to delete indexes in case offetching mails ( I see mails on hd but when telnet on host and make stat Idon't see any).
So Dovecot says there are no mails while there are in fact?
Does version 1.1.x correct this errors ?
v1.1 makes NFS work a lot better, so it's highly recommended.
And what is better to use : nfs or memory indexing ?Can someone point me adventages and disadventages of using both solutions?
Have you read http://wiki.dovecot.org/NFS ?
