I'm using dovecot as my IMAP server just for me, and I access it from three machines, all using Apple Mail.app. Unfortunately the performance is really bad, especially when deleting or copying a lot of messages. I know this is the fault of Mail.app, whose IMAP support leaves a lot to desire, but I was wondering if there could be some dovecot configuration tricks that make the interaction smoother.
Without any information on how the system is configured my crystal ball suggests maybe you are using mbox format rather than maildir on folders with lots of messages.
If crystal ball is broken, please supply more info to allow me to get it fixed.
