HI all,
 
i know that there is a FAQ where some performance related facts are described but i still would like to ask something.
 
first the details to my system
 
webmail      :    squirellmail 1.4.1
mailserver    :    courier 0.43.1
cpu             : amd-k6 400 MHz
memory      :  192 MB
disk            : 20 GB
apache        : Server version: Apache/2.0.47
 
there are 6 domains where each has about 3 mailboxes running on the server.first i have to say that everything si working. when i'm using as example outlook express as imap client the server response time is perfect. when i start using squirellmail as webmail, thngs are changing. after reading trough the FAQ abaut Performance i installed imap-proxy and also php-accelerator. at least i think that the imap-proxy increases the performance a little bit, but by far not enough.
 
after i logge din, it takes some time till it shows my my inbox. reading the messages (next, previous) works quite fast. when i mark an email an hit the delet button, then the bad thing happend. it takes up to 30-60 seconds till i get byck my view of the inbox. during this time i executed "top" ony my sytem and saw that the impad process is eating quite a lot of cpu time. the http process didn't even show up under the top 10 cpu time consumers so i thing it shouldn't be a problem of php_acceletarion nor imap-proxy.
 
since i don't have this situation when i use outlook express to acces my mailbox (also via imap) i think it could have something to do with squirellmail, but i'm not sure. i also saw that there are some notes concerning the optimisation of the imapd process on the squirellmail FAQ site. i read it trough but i couldn't imagine what i should do now.
 
did anyone had a similar situation ? what could i do to make it more comfortable and faster working with the squirellmail webmail ?
 
thanks for any hint
 
patrick
