Can you *please* make some more attention to what I am saying to you?
I'd really appreciate it if you do.  In my previous posting I said:

>> [Movemail is] busy incorporating changes to your destination mailbox.

In other words, there's no question about IMAP server or whatever.  The
delay occurs while delivering data to your hard disk files.  Is that
clear?

Jean, that's all very nice, but that's emotional.  And the truth is:
emotions have very little value when it comes to technical decisions.
The problem we are facing is technical.  So please let's put emotions
aside and try to get to the facts.  It is quite obvious you didn't see
any changes in ps.  The question is: what *was* the output of ps?
