Receiving the message list is slow. I imaging because there are several thousand messages in that list.
But is it slow because the actual downloading the list is slow, or because it's using a lot of disk I/O? If it's the former then there's nothing Dovecot can do.
To bad it could not gzip the list first like apache can do with certain files.
If you use SSL/TLS it's possible to use compression if the client supports it and your OpenSSL supports it. I don't really know how commonly it's supported by clients or even OpenSSL.
I am pretty sure nothing can be done about this rather then use IMAP instead.
Yeah, I'd guess so.
