I just migrated from courier-imap to dovecot and dovecot is a lot faster. My only client is webmail on the same server as dovecot. Max ~10 users.
Should I still run imapproxy like I did with courier?
I'd say this depends on the webmail you're using. I used to go without imapproxy while i used Hastymail2. After switching to Roundcube at first the webmail was extremly slow, imapproxy helped for my use case (personal server, 8 users). I think roundcube is opening and closing the imap connection for every action but i still haven't looked into this.
Wow, thank you, now it's even faster. I'm using Roundcube too.
Does dovecot periodically empty the trash folder like courier does?
Is this the right choice here:
