I switched for mbox to maildir last night and now searching folders isn't working. Getting a timeout. Is there something I might have forgot to configure?

There are no settings related to that. How large mailboxes do you have? It could simply be that maildir is slower to search than mbox because the OS needs to open/close a lot more files.

strace would show what IMAP process is doing: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Debugging/ProcessTracing

That may be it. Search works on small folders. But I need to search the big folders. What can I do to keep it from timing out? I expected it to be slower, but thought it would still work.
