Dear List,

I have a problem copying lots of IMAP-messages from one server running Dovecot 0.99 over to my new server running dovecot 1.0rc2.

It is damn slow and after a minute only 1 or 2 messages are copied. I tried with thunderbird and sylpheed-claws as email client.

I guess it has something to do with the connections which terminates after each copy?!

Perhaps someone has a clue?

My new config: mbox-storage

grep -v "#" /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf |tr -s "\n"

protocols = imaps log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem login_greeting = Dovecot ready. login_log_format_elements = user=<%u> method=%m rip=%r lip=%l %c login_log_format = %$: %s default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mail_extra_groups = mail protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = outlook-idle tb-extra-mailbox-sep }

protocol pop3 { pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } protocol lda { postmaster_address = postmaster@example.com } auth default { mechanisms = plain login passdb pam { args = session=yes dovecot } userdb passwd { } user = root } dict { } plugin { }

Thanks for any tips.

Cheers

Stephan
