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)?

Michael
