Roundcube 0.3.1 seems to have a hard coded limit of 200 mails per page.
it again took around 4-5 mins
I do not know nothing about Roundcube, therefore I wonder where the 5min delay come from:
a) Do you keep index files on Dovecot side?
b) Do you deliver / manipulate the mailbox via Dovecot only? E.g. do you use Dovecot deliver?
c) If you rawlog or sniff the connection and issue the same commands as roundcube to Dovecot via, say, telnet next morning, is the delay the same? http://wiki.dovecot.org/Debugging/Rawlog http://wiki.dovecot.org/TestInstallation?highlight=%28telnet%29
a) and b) should avoid rereading of the mailbox. c) is to ensure that Roundcube does not add the delay itself.
the extra 1000 emails were to be added to the cache .. does dovecot go thru all the 170000 emails again to form the meta data ? or is there some cache expiry period ?
Usually no.

hi
did the tests once again on this large email box
i set maildir_very_dirty_syncs = yes this was done in the morning and dovecot was restarted
i logged after about 4 hours after the previous login again it took around 5 mins to login
i was monitoring my server load which around 1.5 - 2 on my dual core dual xeon machine
this increased to around 8-9 during the login process
the no of emails in the box had increase by around 7500 emails
setting maildir_very_dirty_syncs = yes
does not seem to help
i have pasted below my dovecot.conf file
