Yeah I know what you mean .. I am still running 2 dbamil servers.. but
on one i have the problem that some users have a lot of folders .. and
the code to fetch the folder list on DBmail is horribly inefficient
(should really be done as stored procedures or soemthing )
Unfortunately I am lacking the time to fix/imporve it ..
With a server move imminent I am really not sure if i should/can keep
using dbmail or rather give up (For now at least) and use courier-imap
or dovecot as well .. :(
