[imp] Horde login takes ages on Courier mailbox with 1000's folders

[Warwick Bruce Chapman]

Hi All

We have been happily using Courier/Horde for many years now, but 
recently we replaced a Cyrus-based box with one of our own using Courier 
and the client has been unhappy ever since!

Three of the mailboxes include 1500 or more folders (including all 
subfolders) and it is only when logging into Horde as any of these three 
users that problems occur.  Basically what happens is the login 'hangs' 
for a up to 3 minutes, while the courier-imap process hits 100%.  I 
assume that what is happening is Courier or Horde is trying to traverse 
the entire tree of folders before login may complete.

These users accessing their mail from Outlook do not seem to experience 
this problem from what I can see.

FYI, I am using horde-3.0.7 / imp-4.0.4 / php-4.4.0 / courier-imap-4.0.1 
/ courier-authlib-0.57

Regards
