It uses MH mailstores, and it caches. Opening a folder with ~10k messages takes about three seconds on my machine. Opening a similarily-sized folder in Mutt(actually, the MH maildir converted to mbox with 'packf +Debian/Devel -file d-devel.mbox -mbox') takes approximately 15 seconds, and the same converted to QMail Maildir format takes about 10 seconds. *run* :) -- .--=====-=-=====-=========----------=====-----------=-=-----=. / David Barclay Harris Aut agere, aut mori. \ \ Clan Barclay Either action, or death. / `-------======-------------=-=-----=-===-=====-------=--=----'
