If you want to run bigger webmail server, I can recommend cyrus or courier-imap. Cyrus has sieve filtering, courier has Maildir and server side sorting support. Bincimap might be good too, if developers implement server side sorting with utf-8 or iso-8859-1 charsets. If you have to use uw, try switching from default unix format mailboxes to mbx format. It should be faster. uw is good in imap rfc compliance and working with small mailboxes. imap servers with Maildir support are good when you have bigger mailboxes. -- Tomas ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
