[imp] mcrypt and IMP

[Vince LaMonica]

Hi all,

So I went ahead and recompiled PHP with mcrypt support and recompiled 
Apache [i don't do apxs, as i like modules compiled as part of apache]. 
The problem is I still can't get to my inbox - 99% CPU and after several 
minutes, it eventually times out [apache kills the process that's hogging 
the CPU]. I have ~450 emails in my inbox, 230 or so are unread. In my 
~/mail directory I have 90 mail "folders" [mbox files] with several 
thousand messages total. I'm using UW IMAP 2004c1 with PHP 4.4.0 and 
apache 1.3.33. libmcrypt is v2.5.7, and mcrypt itself is v2.6.4. MySQL is 
4.1.12. The CPU is an Intel Pentium 4 2.26ghz. This does not appear to be 
a browser issue - at least as far as getting the same results in Firefox 
1.5.0.7 and Safari 2.0.4, both on a Mac.

I'm not seeing any log entries with 'emergency' after/during the timeout. 
I've turned on all logging, so I am getting debug messages relating to 
gollum data tree sql statements [which i've not yet 
troubleshooted/completely setup].

I'm logging into Horde via IMAP - imap/ssl/nonvalid-cert on port 993 and 
set IMP with the same setup in servers.php. I've been able to login to a 
test user who has 12 messages in their inbox and it works fine; I see the 
inbox and can pick up messages [can't send, but that's in another e.mail 
from me].

I'm fairly certain I need to tweak a setting, but at this hour, I'm not 
sure what to tweak, so I'm just hoping for some pointers. Many years ago, 
I had a Horde/IMP/Kronolith/Turba setup working awesome, even w/ thousands 
of messages in two namespaces in my IMAP server [running on port 993/ssl]. 
This was obviously was on a much older version of the Horde framework, and 
so for this install [which is on a different system entirely], I've done a 
complete 100% fresh install.

If there are config files y'all might need to help give me better advice, 
please lemme know, and I'll post them here.

Thanks a lot!
