Hi,

(I didn't notice this mail at first since you mailed to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
rather than 368992-submitter@, and the former isn't sent to a bug's
submitter...)

There is no single syscall that takes a lot of time; but it appears to
me as if dovecot tries to mmap() every file in the Maildir for each and
every mail that it tries to access. This obviously takes a long time.

I did find the following in my mail logs:

Jun 19 23:38:56 rock dovecot: IMAP(wouter): Corrupted index cache file 
/mailstore/wouter/.Sent/dovecot.index.cache: field header names corrupted

.Sent is one of the folders that does seem to need a long long time to
create new mails through IMAP.

In response to this, I stopped dovecot, removed all index files from my
maildirs, and then restarted the daemon with the mmap_disable option
disabled again (i.e., with mmap enabled). However, the issue still seems
to exist, while no such messages appear in my logs anymore.

HTH,
