Hello all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
This has been discussed several times in #gentoo-server on |
| 4 |
irc.sourceforge.net, but I am still looking for a solution for IMAP |
| 5 |
filtering for courier-imap. Maybe my setup is just wrong, but IMAP is |
| 6 |
annoyingly slow compared to pop3. The only advantage I have in using |
| 7 |
imap is that I can sync my mail on any box and access via squirrelmail |
| 8 |
and have all my archived email available. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
My current setup is courier-imap-ssl -> evolution 2.2.1.1 which I have |
| 11 |
configured with all the recommended speedup tricks I could find. |
| 12 |
Sometimes, when things try to sync, it just becomes unusable for thirty |
| 13 |
seconds or more. Quite annoying. Filtering is incredibly slow compared |
| 14 |
to filtering with pop3. I see plans by the evolution devs to make a |
| 15 |
better sync algorithm. And yes I have used Thunderbird and it is just as |
| 16 |
annoyingly slow. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
I have been told that the trick is to do server side filtering on |
| 19 |
incoming mail. I don't however think this will fix my problems. This |
| 20 |
leaves me to believe that after this many years of IMAP being in use and |
| 21 |
it is still at this level of lameness, that I should return to using |
| 22 |
pop3 and create something with cron and rsync to make my mail archive |
| 23 |
available on the server. Kind of a lame solution, but functional, and I |
| 24 |
wouldn't have to go on a break every time I want to check my new email. |
| 25 |
I wonder if IMAP is really this broken, or nobody has figured out how to |
| 26 |
make it work properly yet? I've used rsync alot and rsync would work |
| 27 |
faster to syncronize server and client. Thoughts? Solutions? |
