Re: [gentoo-server] Comments on IMAP Server (cyrus/courier/dovecot)

I'm terribly sorry if you've mentioned this before, but maybe you two are
using different clients for IMAP? I notice Courier is lightning fast with
Evolution, but with Squirrelmail it gets extremely slow to respond.

This discussion has, however, sparked my interest. I'm always up for
better performance. Would Cyrus be worth the trouble to switch?
