"maildir" is already fast. Maybe you should activate "header-cache" ? Oh yes, opening 'mutt' and reading my lkm mailfolder takes around 87 seconds with around 200.000 messages AND "header-cache" VIA nfs and a 100 MBit network. The same mailbox, accesed via courier-imap-ssl takes around 18 seconds. Please note, that you can configure "set imap_headers" which speed up the reading of a imapfolder. "header_cache" VIA nfs will cache the whole HEADERs. > Frederik Greetings Michelle -- Linux-User #280138 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org/ Michelle Konzack Apt. 917 ICQ #328449886 50, rue de Soultz MSM LinuxMichi 0033/3/88452356 67100 Strasbourg/France IRC #Debian (irc.icq.com)
