Hello Sam
thanks for the answer,
Is there anything that could be done to aptimize performance without having to
rewrite or change
the code? if you could point us to some direction maybe we could work in a small
patch or something else.
We are using maildir type mailbox.
Thanks

Hello
I am using courier imap 1.4.6, a few users uses the imap and others the
pop server
the problem is that whem someone uses the POP server the CPU utilization
goes to 50 or more
with IMAP it works fine.
The POP3 server is not very efficient for HUGE mailboxes.
The system is a dual PIII 800Mhz with 1GB memory and a Intel Raid.
Running RedHat with Linux 2.4.19p10
Does anyone know what could be done to lower the CPU utilization of the
POP3 server?
POP3 isn't really meant to be used to keep huge mailboxes on the server.
That's what IMAP's for, as you've observed.
Although it is possible to optimize the POP3 server for huge mailboxes, I'm
reluctant to do so, because it's going to be a pain in the neck, and I still
believe that IMAP is the appropriate solution here.
