Hi,
I have several mailboxes that are accessed via IMAP.
With one of the mailboxes, using Thunderbird, deleting one or more messages takes a (relatively) long time: 3-5 seconds.
With the other mailboxes, when I hit the delete key, the message is deleted in less than a second.
I recognize that in IMAP, "deleting" the message only marks it for deletion on the server. Therefore, each time I finish dealing with messages in any mailbox, I "compact" the mailbox in T-bird (which I believe does an IMAP "expunge"). However, the delay in deleting occurs regardless of any compacting/expunging.
The mailbox in question isn't particularly large (or small) compared to the other mailboxes.
In my T-bird client, this mailbox is the first in the list, but I don't see why T-bird would handle it differently than any other IMAP mailbox.
What factors could cause a particular mailbox to have issues when deleting messages through IMAP? All thoughts welcome!
