Good afternoon, A few months ago I had Wildblue satellite intenet service installed. This has been a tremendous improvement over a 28k dial line. I knew of the issues to expect regarding latency, but am still somewhat bothered by the performance of mutt and IMAP. Everything seems to take place 1 byte at a time. Just as an example, after reading about 50 emails in my Gentoo folder, and then telling mutt to "sync" that folder, I can just watch the status line counter go by. Maybe 2-3 minutes! Opening folders is the same. Just sit there and wait on "Sorting folder", even if the folder only has 1 or 2 messages. Ouch! Does anyone have any suggestions? Perhaps a particular patch or compile time option. //garbanzo/home/festus > mutt -v Mutt 1.5.11 (2005-09-15) Copyright (C) 1996-2002 Michael R. Elkins and others.
