Hi,
I've installed Roundcube on my web hosting package with Dreamhost to replace the SquirrelMail (ugliest email client going) installation which comes preloaded. I love everything about Roundcube except it's performance.
My inbox contains a modest 500 messages, and yet it takes a good 20 second every time I click on the Inbox to load the page. Just logging in takes at least 30 seconds, sometimes up to a minute, and clicking on a single message ro read frequently takes 10 seconds. I've just installed beta2 and it seems to be as sluggish as beta1 (the first version I installed). The performance does not seem to improve even when I set the number of messages per page to 5.
I have seen many threads about about speed issues with RC relating to caching and database connection speed. With this not being my own server and me not knowing very much about IMAP, I don't know whether caching is enabled or not, but I can say that SquirrelMail when installed on the same server does not have similar performance issues.
Would be very grateful for any advice because at this speed I don't think I can persevere much longer.
