Re: handling very large mailboxes
It seems a good bit of the problem I am having is related to the
$mail_check period. If I have it too low mutt becomes completely
unresponsive, regardless of what I try to do.
Setting it to a more reasonable value (75 seconds) improves the situation a bit.
I'm uncertain, however, why it takes so long for mutt to load at
first. Isn't that what the header cache is for? What exactly is mutt
doing when it first loads and takes ~20sec (on my end) to load
everything?
