The problem is that normal Unix Well, my inbox currently has 3568 messages in it and PINE pops it open in a jiffy. You need to keep in mind that Cyrus caches things like the headers. See the four "cyrus.*" files in each folder. In fact, I typically use the auto-expire capabilities in Gnus (news/mail reader for Emacs/XEmacs) and rarely ever manually delete a message. I could not do this if Cyrus didn't handle large folders well. jb> Has anyone who uses Cyrus in a large organization environment found jb> this to be a problem? How do you define "large"? ;-) I think if you spread your message store across spindles, you should be okay. -- Amos
