Well, it seems that Mail.app copies or deletes messages one at a time, and sometimes wait for one minute between two messages. When this happens, going to another mailbox (to read messages, for instance) takes forever, and coming back to the mailbox where the messages were deleted shows them, until they get deleted on the server. I don't really know how to explain it differently (which is probably part of the problem as well ;-) ).
I guess by copying you mean within the server, and not eg. copying a local message to server?
Yes, everything is always stored on the server.
What OS are you using in server side? And what filesystem?
Mac OS X.4.7, with HFS+ as files system.
I think I've heard before that Dovecot doesn't behave too great with OSX..
If Linux, you could see what the server is doing by:
strace -tt -o log -p <imap process pid>
Then start the copying and see which part of it takes the longest.
I guess I could use Shark for this, but I don't know how to use it.
Hmm. I guess it's time to put this in wiki:
