Are you sure the CPU is pegged from CPU and not disk I/O? I used to
import 160GB of InnoDB data on a quad core (U320/RAID 10) and after
the cache would fill up, only 1 core would show as pegged because the
disk I/O wasn't fast enough. Seems like the index on 10k messages
might be kinda big. Got more RAM lying around? Just a guess.
I like Horde (extendability) and Roundcube (speed), and would
recommend using imapproxy for either webmail system. It helps speed
things up.

Greetings everyone,
I'm new to the list as of today. I just installed Dovecot a couple
of days ago
for the first time, Debian Lenny Dovecot v1.0.15-2.3. So far I'm pretty
impressed. I'm using mbox format with Dovecot auto-deciding to place mail in
user home directories, which is great. It works very well with the Win32
Thunderbird 3 client over a small basic 100FDX switched net. I've
got one list
mail folder with 10,600 messages and server side body searching that
folder via
T-Bird is very quick, on the order of 5 seconds. It would probably
be quicker
if Dovecot threaded the search to use both CPUs, but pegging just the one CPU
the search is still very darn quick. And this is on a dual P2-550
class machine
with only 384MB RAM and a single 500GB 7200RPM SATA drive.
I'd like to install a webmail package on the same host. I used
Squirrelmail for
this purpose many years ago and I wasn't wholly impressed with the user
interface. I'm also not impressed by the fact that I regularly receive spam
from compromised Squirrelmail hosts/accounts. I really like the look/feel of
the Scalix Web Access AJAX based interface, but I can't/won't use
Scalix as it's
not supported on Debian, it has more features than I need, and the system
requirements are a bit steep.
So, what's the best FOSS IMAP enabled web mail front end with a modern
look/feel? I'd like to run it on lighttpd, which I'm already using,
not apache.
Thanks in advance for any advice. My apologies if my first post is
a little OT,
but I figured there's probably no better place to ask about the best webmail
front end for Dovecot than here.
