When trying to delete a lot of mail (> 5000-6000 messages) in some folder, using Mozilla Thunderbird (1.5.0.7) on Ubuntu, I often experience "Connection to server <hostname> timed out." Any suggestions on how to fix this problem? .. Timo: what would you need from us to help us fixing this?
I think the important thing to find out is what Dovecot is actually doing:

Start tracing before starting the deletion, then mail the whole log to me.
Dear Timo,
please see attached the log.
I created a folder called 'foobar' with exactly 2000 messages inside, then I selected All and pressed delete. As expected, Thunderbird then reported a Server Timeout.
kind regards dirk
