No, I'm running the very latest version. v1.0 beta2. Compiled with default
options, just added LDFLAGS for ssl libs.
Like I said /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/deliver is present.

 With large mbox folders, 10000+ messages with delivery 10-15 messages per
minute, I wasn't even able to connect to the folder at all. I would only
get time out errors. Meanwhile, wu-imap worked fine with same folder,
although not very fast. I assumed it was either a problem with locking (
fcntl - solaris) or index rebuilds.

Thank you for the reply.
