From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.6+) Gecko/20011213
BuildID: 2001121303
Sending a message from a workstation with 10,000 messages in Sent takes more
than two minutes.
After user presses 'Send' on outgoing mail, the browser opens an SMTP session
and sends the mail. Great. Then the message is copied to the
'Sent' folder on the IMAP server. Great. Then (via etherpeek) it appears that
another request is made to the IMAP server. It *appears* to be searching the
'Sent' folder for the message ID of the (just sent) message. Thats when the
grinding begins.
I realize that it is a good idea to make sure that the message has *indeed* been
copied to 'Sent'. Can't I turn this functionality off? I'm not a programmer,
I'm a systems guy. I stopped an office wide rollout of Mozilla because of this.
Right now, I've got half the users on one mail server and half the users on the
other. -Sigh
We've thouroughly tested the mail server. It is fast enough, and has plenty of
space. In fact, according to the benchmarks I saw (in relation to Maildirs),
two minutes is about right to search through and/or rebuild the server side
index file (with 10,000 messages). Therefore, I don't think this is a server
performance issue.
I know you probably don't want to hear this, but Outlook Express and Mahogany
don't have this problem at all.
IMAP Server - Courier IMAP on FreeBSD
Client - Win 2k, Win 98, Mac (os 8.6 and 9.?)(I don't think this is a client
problem).
Network - 100mb Switched. Speeds are about the same over a 10mb segment. (I
don't think it is the network)
Any help would be greatly apprecated.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put 10,000 Messages in your 'Sent' folder.
2. Compose and send a test message.
3. Wait.
Actual Results: Moz always sent the message (before searching), and mailnews
always comes back okay, but this makes the software impossible to use.
Expected Results: Moz *should* have copied the message and be done with it. If
the user wants to confirm the message was copied, fine. They could even be
given the option to turn that on (true feature creep). Or, have Moz check the
mailbox for a threshold at which messages aren't verified anymore.
There is *no* good workaround. Copies of the 'sent' items can be sent to ones'
self and filtered at the server. We tried that. It works, but is so annoying
that people are complaining. You end up with "new" messages in your 'sent'
items. Believe me, it is a pain. When the folder is no longer marked as
'Sent', suddenly the user can no longer sort on the Recipient. They can only
sort on Sender (which is them, of course).

I can confirm this, though with a much smaller sent-box and proportionally
smaller send delay.
It does seem to SMTP send, IMAP copy, then open the mailbox and load it..
