Re: handling very large mailboxes
Hum.
Maybe my IMAP server is kinda slow then?
I could try tying mutt to my Gmail account to see what happens.
Here's what I have in my .muttrc file (for caching):
set header_cache="~/.mutt/cache/headers"
set message_cachedir="~/.mutt/cache/messages"
There seem to be files in there, so I imagine that the caching is
working correctly.
I just ran a tcpdump and worked on mutt for a bit and here's what I'm noticing:
- loading a mailbox the first time around takes a bit of time and
results in some reasonable level of traffic to / from the mail server
- once a mailbox is loaded, the index for that mailbox seems to work smoothly
- loading a single message in that mailbox then takes a few seconds (~5?)
I haven't compared to see what happens when I turn off caching, though.
Bill, are you saying that after the initial 30 second process for your
Gmail, everything loads up instantly (specific email messages, etc.)
afterwards?
