[imp] IMAP speed

[Chuck Hagenbuch]

Quoting Jan Johansson <jan.johansson@viking-telecom.com>:

> As soon as you get a reasonably large folder, WU gets _extremely_ slow
> because it uses a single sequential file for each folder. You have two
> options.
> 
> 1. Throw hardware at the problem, speed up the server.
> 2. Change from a mbox architecture to a maildir architecture (my personal
> choise is Courier IMAPd)

You can also use mbx folders instead of mbox.
