He didn't say anything about saving to Sent folder, he said "it takes up to ~10 secs for TBird to LOGIN and send"... TBird saves to sent folder AFTER it send the message. > Also, with other IMAP server (no idea if this applies to Dovecot) you > could even have the sending process start by copying the message in a > particular outbox without direct interaction between the MUA and the > SMTP server. This only applies to IMAP servers that have also an SMTP component, like courier - but these components are separate. As Matthias said, dovecot is NOT an smtp server and has nothing to do with the sending process (except for use of dovecot_sasl if it is used)... This is not a dovecot problem... -- Best regards, Charles
