Quoting Stan Hoeppner <s...@hardwarefreak.com>:
Are you using any FTS plugins? Squat?
Nope, not as far as I know. Dovecot -n lists the following plugins: mail_plugins(default): zlib acl imap_acl mail_plugins(imap): zlib acl imap_acl mail_plugins(pop3): zlib mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib64/dovecot/pop3 plugin: acl: vfile:/var/dovecot/acls acl_shared_dict: file:/var/dovecot/indexes/shared_mailboxes
And are you sure you're doing full body searches, not just headers only?
Yes. Header searches are much faster. :) -- Eric Rostetter The Department of Physics The University of Texas at Austin Go Longhorns!
