I got around 10 MB/s performance using sup-sync. Maybe
your mails are all very large, I don?t know. Maybe maildir is
just a lot slower than IMAP in sup-sync.

My impression is that sup-sync can definitely be improved regarding
its speed. I?m not sure if it is actually doable or if it is some ruby
library (Ferret?) which is the limiting factor here. However, it was
not as bad for me as it is for you ;-).

Best regards,
Michael
