I'm now using IMAP with WU-IMAPd (the default IMAPd for Slackware), and mbx (not mbox) format as the back end. This format claims to be the fastest non-directory format around, hands down. It's pretty damn fast for me, even working through the silly IMAP connection. The advantage of IMAP, of course, is that it provides you with a lot more functionality than a maildir. The advantage of mbx format is that it preserves all info from the original mbox, and indexing is lightning quick. - Dave -- Uncle Cosmo, why do they call this a word processor? It's simple, Skyler.
