Sylpheed opens folders very quickly because it keeps its own index file in each folder, and so does not need to read headers from every file. Since Sylpheed uses MH format, which requires a folder lock any time you want to modify a folder, it can do this without any real disadvantage. Maildir, however, does not need folder locks, so adding an index file (which would have to be locked for modification) seems like a bad idea. Craig
