As a follow-up to my last post, I went out to look on google for another problem I've been having.

I'm using my own server to access my email over the web (full control baby), and I'm using Imp as my webmail client. Unfortunately, it's pretty slow to use (each page takes 10 seconds to load) and I tracked the problem down to the imap_open call in PHP which opens the connection to my IMAP server. I found a number of people noticing the call is slow but unfortunately I haven't found a solution to this that works for me Something I found quite often is to specify the port in the connection string but I'm already doing that and it still takes 10 seconds. Also tried to use the IP-address direcly in stead of the host name but still no luck. Damn!

If anyone has a good idea, be sure to let me know before I actually start sniffing the wire to see what's going on...
