Hi! This is very unlikely to be a dovecot issue itself. There is nothing inside dovecot that would horde your emails for 2 hours before "delivering" them.
You should - Enable mail_log plugin. This will tell you when mails are delivered, when deleted etc, see https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/plugins/mail_event_logging/ - Examine your logs - Check `doveadm fetch 'date.received date.sent date.saved' mailbox INBOX '*'` ( this will print you the last email in INBOX, note the quotes) Aki > On 23/10/2022 16:49 EEST Chris Wensink <cwens...@five-star-plastics.com> > wrote: > > > Over the last several months we have seen what seems like large delays in > email delivery as well, we get emails at 11AM that are time stamped at 9:10. > I thought it was a networking issue, but I can’t be sure.
