A few days ago I installed dovecot stable to replace uw-imap. The install went well and all boxes were converted ok. When accessing the new imap server though, certain operations seem much slower, in particular, moving mail between boxes is very slow, and I have received several complaints from users that the mail server has slowed down. I can't figure out what the slow point is as maildir should be faster than mbox.
What email client is being used? I've seen some similar behaviour with Thunderbird which I believe (from reading Bugzilla) may be a Thunderbird IMAP bug rather than a Dovecot issue.
Actually, the mail clients were mozilla, thunderbird, and kmail, and maybe even squirrel, can't remember if I tested that though. All were slow with dovecot stable, but when I downgraded to 0.99.x, the problems went away and performance was back to around uw-imap's performance or better.
