DIMAP has seen a lot of stability work in proko2, as has online IMAP in 
the 3.x series. Since online IMAP only got into the kolab picture very 
recently, we're still getting that area of the code up to speed, 
relatively. I'd be interested in any backtraces of crashes you or your 
users encounter. If I recognise the crash I can often find the fix I 
did in 3.x and backport it rather quickly.

Online IMAP does certain things a lot faster, and others a bit slower 
than dimap, due to the way it works. The slowness you see is probably 
latency, waiting around for server roundtrips, rather than processing 
slowness. If you have specific cases that are particularly slow, please 
report them issues, and we'll have a look.

Cheers,
