I'm still trying to analyse thisĀ problem. Just want to let you know. Ok, i found the problem. I moved the database to another machine(yet faster, then the other!!!! :-)) . But the result was having a slower database. The problem has been, that the optimizer had not up-to-date information about the tables involved with the query. Which let MySQL do the the join in the wrong order. After running "analyze table" on all involved tables, the query finnished after 0,01 seconds. That's ok for me! :-) Something dbmail-util is doing every night anyway. It was all only my fault.
