Hello,
Just wondering if anyone has used dovecot (http://www.dovecot.org/) with
the toaster. As of last month, their betas support Maildir++ quotas. I
have been hoping to find something that is faster than courier since it
struggles to serve my inbox sometimes. From their homepage:
Dovecot should be pretty fast. There are still some optimizations that
could be done, but I believe it already beats most of the other IMAP
servers in overall performance. This is mostly because of index files
that Dovecot maintains; instead of having to scan through all the data
in a mailbox, Dovecot can get most of the wanted information from its
indexes with little effort. Dovecot's indexes can scale to a huge
amount of messages per mailbox without hardly any noticeable slowdown.
I've tested only up to 367000 mails, but even millions of messages
shouldn't be a problem.
It sounds like this may be what I am looking for, but was wondering if
anyone with a toaster install found it caused problems. Also, if anyone
does run dovecot, did you notice a speedup compared to courier (mostly
on folders with lots of messages)?
