Yes. I don't have the stats right now but I'd say, on 2500 users, 60% are using
IMAP, 40% POP3.

But I had the feeling that it was the IMAP processes which were causing the
load, particulary because some IMAP users were complaining about low speed
while moving messages from mailboxes (I'm talking 1.0.14 here). However, I
don't know if it was a cause or a consequence...

A lot indeed.

So no big architectural changes ? 
Or maybe changes in the locking code ?

What about the upcomming 2.0 ? Is the new master expected to provide load
improvement ?

Great work anyway ! ;-)

Thanks.
