Re: Very slow mail download/notification with dovecot 2.3.7 and Thunderbird​

And it seems that some folders are never updated in TB. In example I sort all messages from this list into a "INBOX.Mailinglists.ML-Dovecot" subfolder by using a simple sieve rule. But even after 10 minutes TB thinks that there are no new messages. As soon as I click on the ML-Dovecot folder I see in the /var/log/dovecot-info.log file that TB logs on to the server and then displays hundreds, of new messages. I checked twice but I have subscribed to all 228 folders.

I can't help you with your performance problem, but for Thunderbird to check all folders, you need to set "mail.check_all_imap_folders_for_new" to 'true' in the Thunderbird config editor.
