Hi Stan, Thanks for the suggestions. I am testing anything since the box has a mere 496Mb of RAM and not too quick discs. It mayn't speed things up, but is worth a try.
There are some previous measurements on the dovecot lost (some by me) showing that imapproxy will generally slow things down very slightly (in the one box case). Dovecot is very fast at handling logins
However, *I* use imapproxy on a single box in order to cleanup my logfiles such that I can do some analytics along the lines of "logged in at xx:xx and logged out at yy:yy"
I speculate that imapproxy might offer a performance advantage with the RTT to the imap server is longer, something of the order several times the RTT time *might* be eliminated...
Good luck
