I guess by copying you mean within the server, and not eg. copying a
local message to server?

What OS are you using in server side? And what filesystem?

If Linux, you could see what the server is doing by:

strace -tt -o log -p <imap process pid>

Then start the copying and see which part of it takes the longest.
