My experience with IMAP over the internet with a couple of servers outside our monastery (while I was in it, and we have considerably better download speeds than upload) has always been that IMAP has always been incredibly slow.
remember courier-imap with client side filters in squirrelmail ?, that was slow :)
with dovecot / sieve server side filtering there is no slow down at all
So, I've always just allowed users to connect to the IMAP server via webmail. It's slow, but usable.
stop using client side filtering
I guess it's time to open a port in our firewall and do some testing with a couple of clients from outside. Maybe they'll work better than I've always assumed.
+1, close pop3 on outside :)
I appreciate the input, everybody.
thats whats maillist is for
