I've switched to maildir, um, well, I forget why. Maybe peformance, maybe trepidation over my mbox files breaking one day. With 1000+ messages (and 5000+ is pretty easily attainable), performance on opening a folder sucks. I assume it's because mutt has to do an fopen() on each file, scan headers, group output, and sort it. The result is a several-seconds (sometimes 10-20) on opening large folders. Is there any way to speed this up? The faster of the two boxes is a PIII-400 (faster's on the way), 384 MiB, SCSI drive. Peace. -- Karsten M.
