"maildir" is already fast.
Maybe you should activate "header-cache" ?
Oh yes, opening 'mutt' and reading my lkm mailfolder takes around 87
seconds with around 200.000 messages AND "header-cache" VIA nfs and a
100 MBit network.
The same mailbox, accesed via courier-imap-ssl takes around 18 seconds.
Please note, that you can configure "set imap_headers" which speed up
the reading of a imapfolder. "header_cache" VIA nfs will cache the
whole HEADERs.
