mutt 1.5.9i: header_cache: Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't...
Hi there,
I use mutt 1.5.9i and enabled header caching during the build to access my
maildir folders as fast as possible. Then I configured the header_cache
parameter like this:
set header_cache="~/.tmp/mutt-header-cache"
This all went very well and at the time I enabled this parameter accessing my
folders sped up a lot. But then one day it was back to slow again and I
noticed the mutt-header-cache db had been gone without me doing anything.
Just until yesterday no header cache db would be created. I tried to point
$header_cache to a dir and to a file, but that wouldn't change anything
either.
Today I noticed that there were two header chache files both dating from
yesterday. I've been receiving, reading and sending mail all day long today,
so if mutt would use the db I guess the date of the dbs should have todays
date.
Am I doing something wrong? Any ideas?
Thanks,
p@rick
P.S.
Here's the output from "mutt -v" to show that mutt has USE_HCACHE enabled:
