Hm, I can't see a auth master socket in your pasted configuration. (BTW:
send only `dovecot -n` output.) So I guess, you let Qmail store the
messages into the Maildir.
If you would use deliver, Dovecot's LDA <http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA>,
deliver would keep your index files up to date. This should reduce the
delay at login time.

Not that it matters, but I think Pascal's correct about this.

Rajesh, can you give dovecot's 'deliver' a go? Let us know if you need a hand with that. Oh, and try to take good notes. ;)
