Have you used the imap headercache patch for mutt? I have used this on some large (by my standards ~= 18k emails or so, YMMV) mailboxes with substantial performance improvements. It went from a good 5 minutes over my cable + vpn connection to about 30 seconds. I seem to recall having to massage the patch a bit for newer mutt versions, but it wasn't anything too tricky. -Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
