Re: [Phpgroupware-developers] Re: EMail and IMAP

[Chris Weiss]

This has been touched on before. phpGW needs to do some caching of the IMAP 
data.
In this case, a significant performance increace would be seen if phpgw cached 
just
the IMAP folder tree.  IMAP is handy, but slow.  Every binary IMAP client I've 
ever
seen does some level of caching.
