We currently had dovecote 99 running and ran into some issues with it,
mainly our pop3 sessions timeout and were slow.

I upgraded to the latest version and im serving imap with pop3 using pam.

Heres my pam file:

[root at pop etc]# cat /etc/pam.d/dovecot
#%PAM-1.0
auth    required        pam_unix.so nullok
account required        pam_unix.so

The problem I'm having is I can authenticate to imap, but it's very slow,
however pop3 doesn't work at all. 
I have auth debug set and I can see the imap authentication but not pop3.

Here is my config file.

Using maildir's with pam authentication, I really would appreciate any help.
