Anyway,
Which IMAP Server are you using? From my experience "dovecot" is faster than any IMAP server, ESPECIALLY if it comes to huge mailboxes, because it uses per mailbox "index database files". You might give it a try, if you have got the possibility.
Regards,
Robert

Unsubscribing should help because only subscribed folders are listed

Don't know why the CVS version runs slower than the latest build...
Yes, unsubscribing from my larger 'archive' folders did the trick, it's very fast to login now, as I probably have perhaps 15,000 messages in my 'current' folders vs 80,000ish in my archive folders.
It *seemed* it was slower in the 102505 CVS than the 102105 release, but might have been my imagination.

I'm on CentOS 3.4 right now, and the default is uw.. I think CentOS 4 might go with Dovecot, not sure.. I know Fedora Core 3 and 4 went that direction.
I might look into that.. I'm still using mbox format instead of a maildir format, I've been told over and over a maildir format would work better with large amounts of email, but just haven't messed with it.
Thanks for the tip. :)

I ran into a similar problems with slow login/startup times using UW-IMAP and OpenBSD (i'm an email packrat as well), after making the switch to the dovecot-0.99.14p0 package I am no longer experiencing these delays with the latest roundcube release.

As I said before: dovecot does a very nice job (nice = fast) on big mailboxes, because of theis index files per mailbox folder. That is a very nice feature and makes dovecot for THE IMAP server of my choice ;-)

Robert
