after the update from wu-imap to dovecot, opening e-mails on the imap server seems slower than with wu-imap. I haven't measured any speed yet, but clicking on a message in a folder takes sometimes a couple of seconds to open the mail.

The _first_ time you touch a folder, it will be very slow (as it builds the index files), but after that it should be fast enough. I run dovecot on folders with 5000+ messages and it's fine for me.
