[Dovecot] Problem copying Dovecot 0.99 - Dovecot 1.0rc2 IMAP messages

[Stephan Holl]

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 at 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
