IMAP Performance Improvements in MailSite 10 (part 2)

In a previous blog post we described the pipelining performance optimizations we made in MailSite 10 to improve IMAP and TLS connections. This wasn't all we did in MailSite 10, we also decided to tackle a long standing protocol flaw in IMAP; the ability to query for changes to a folder, especially in modern mail folders which could easily contain 10,000s of email messages.

In both cases the vast majority of the data transferred must be identical message data, so it ought to be the case that the sync times are very similar. This led us to set up an experiment to examine our IMAP performance in more detail; an exercise which turned out to be a very fruitful indeed.
