Yes, sorry, from Mail on an iPhone 5S.
if its fast on the server, can you tell, whether the IOS device actually uses the server for searching?
Watching the logs, it makes many connections to the IMAP server (one per mailbox?), so yes, it is definitely using the server. Eventually it runs into the connection limit, closes all the connections then tries to open them all again. You can see the entire process takes about a minute.

I guess the next step is to figure out IMAP logging, but I was wondering if anyone else had had success with getting Dovecot to perform well in this scenario. From the response thus far it seems like the answer may be no.
