Re: Header-Cache problem with cache size
Hello,
just for the records. Both, the filedescriptor leak and the
hcache-per-folder are in the next Debian upload of mutt. Dato takes care
over this. - Thnx! :-)

It depends on the view. I see it in a different way, but everyone has
she/he likes:
putting the files in /tmp has for me the following advantages:
- my /tmp is on tmpfs (swap + RAM) which speeds it up.
- /tmp is cleaned up from time to time. I don't have a problem
with this, because it kills stale entries and mutt recreates
the files if necessary anyway. Of course this impiles that I
read my mail only on one machine.
What René said is of course also true, if he likes to have the hcache
permanent, which makes sense if you wait a huge amount of time to open it
up without hcache. Putting the hcache in a NFS home could also make
sense.
Honestly,
Thomas
