I'm trying to work out what "750k mailboxes" is exactly. Do you have
750k users on your server? Do you [personally] have 750k emails in
your mailboxes? Do you [personally] have 750k "folders"? Or the last
possible combination I can think of is that your mailbox /size/ is
750k? ;)

While I know you replied to Paul's request for more information with
"assume the latest", that's a terrible thing to do in most cases.
Debian was (not sure if they still are) on 1.2.6 in their stable
branch, and they call that "latest", I think redhat was at 1.4.4 and
called that "latest"... I think you get my point. However you /still/
haven't provided much in the way of information. We don't know
anything about your PHP, your IMAP server, etc etc. Did you read the
list guidelines?
