This may not be the solution to your problem, but one of the things I've done to improve performance is allow server-side sorting. Apparently IMAP servers do not support this, indeed, I am running Courier and the default settings for Courier even have it disabled. However, I found that in my set-up on my Debian unstable box, running Postfix w/ Maildir, it significantly improved mailbox loading with large mailboxes. My boss has ~5000 messages in his inbox and changing to server-side sorting made *all* the difference. I can't speak to the particular issue of pagination versus "show all", but this may point you in the right direction.
I do know that the FAQ on the Squirrelmail site (http://www.squirrelmail.org) has at least one topic on performance-related issues, possibly a read of that may shed more light for you. - Christopher Wagner -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Viren Patel Sent: Tuesday, October 12, 2004 5:57 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SM-USERS] Fwd: Large Inbox Issues with 1.4.3a Hello. I have Squirrelmail 1.4.3a running on FreeBSD 4.10, Apache 1.3.31 and PHP 4.3.7. One user with 1200+ messages in his inbox is having a strange issue: the system locks up when in "Show All" mode, but works just fine in "Paginate" mode. I have tried increasing limits for IMAP (no. of deamons - 48 and no. of connections - 96) and PHP (script execution times - 120s and max memory - 64M) but to avail. The user does not have any mail filters or many folders either. Disk usage is well within quotas. Any idea of what may be the issue? Another odd thing is other users with large inboxes do not have these issues. Thanks.
