messages causes major troubles on this box - more than 500 MB of virtual memory allocated to the "imap" process is quite a lot and often causes random processes to fall victim to the OOM killer. :-( Umm. If it's allocating 500MB when deleting messages there's something seriously wrong. I haven't heard this happening with any Dovecot version before.
Ok. Well, it does and it's easily reproduceable with this stable release. :-)
I want to upgrade dovecot to a recent beta. If the problem also happens with this version, I could try to help to track it down. Or should I first do some tests with the currently installed release?
Probably easier if you just try if beta3 has fixed this already, so we don't waste time for nothing :)
