hi,
one customer told us, that he has performance problem in his Thunderbird 3.1.9, while open his sent folder, which has round about 4000 mails in it, and 20k in his Inbox. For example TB, tries to sync the sent-folder list (over SSL) from the sent folder for now over 15min.
In the log, I can't see any strange things, so for me, Dovecot works ok.
Maybe, I should use better cache options?
Now he tries to move many messages to separate folders, but thats also a bit slow. So, is it a TB problem, with so many messages?
Our config: <snip>
Recent versions of TB (3.1.9 included) cache all messages locally (on client computer) by default. This is fine for local connections, but on remote connections with a lot of mail, it takes a while for all that to download. Same thing for moving large amounts of messages around. Once it's done though, performance shouldn't be too bad.
If the problem persists, I would have the customer change their account settings in the Synchronization & Storage section to something more appropriate to their situation.
