    Have a look at /usr/ports/mail/up-imapproxy
    (http://www.imapproxy.org/), helps alot!

    Squirrelmail is also very CPU and memory hungry when opening large
    mailboxes, doing Thread sorts and such.

    One sollution to the problem is to use UW-IMAP's MBX format, as it is
    indexed and supports shared READ-WRITE access. No more problems with
    long logon times due to large mailboxes or locking!
