Why not just use an IMAP server that has one? Modify settings to taste. I use courier-imap-ssl, I haven't seen a problem yet. I even have a couple of folders with 15K+ messages and one with 23K+ messages. I also have 34 folders, 15 the have sub-folders from there, one sub-folder with 12 sub-folders in it. Not a problem yet. -- greg, [EMAIL PROTECTED] The technology that is Stronger, better, faster: Linux
