In both cases when the client fetches messages from the inbox and starts redistributing them, CPU utilization on the imap server goes to around 40 percent for Mozilla and around 90 percent for mahogany.
There are long delays on the order of two minutes when filtering messages. or 30 to 50 seconds when opening a mailbox.Check what Dovecot is doing at the time. Use rawlog (or network sniffer) and strace.
will do. should I be using the latest from cvs or from 99.10 like I have been?
Humm.. If it copies a message from a mailbox to itself, that could break mbox, or at least complain about some errors.. Could it be that?
I don't believe so. The mahogany filters were under construction to meet my needs here. I am looking forward to server side filtering because I am getting rather tired of replicating 100+ filters every time I change clients.
