Hello,
I want to come back on this old thread launched by someone else:
,----[ nnimap slow on checking huge mailboxes? ]

| Hi,
|
| When I hit 'g' nnimap takes a long time to check for new
| messages in big mailboxes (i.e. 11000 messages).
| Is there a way to make this faster ?
|
| when I do 'g' emacs does :
| Quickly checking mailbox ...
| and scans rapidly the mailboxes.
| after that it does :
| Mailbox: ..... modified
|
| and scans slowly (taking >1 minute for big boxes!) the mailboxes
|
| I'm using emacs/gnus from cvs and checked that I have the latest
| nnimap.el
| The IMAP server runs locally and is Courier.
|
| any idea ?

... still having the same problem with No Gnus v0.9 under GNU
Emacs 23.0.60.1 (in Ubuntu 8.04) with the email server being
Courier, located on a 1 Gbps LAN connection.
Checking for new mails takes a very, very long time, to the
contrary of what's being said ("Quickly checking...").
I must admit I keep every mail I receive, for the 5 years I'm
using Gnus. That is around 90,000 mails spread over 40 groups or
so -- the main one, for the work, containing 20,000 emails.
Is there a way to make this happen fast, or at least faster?
Best regards,
Seb
PS- The colleague I've managed to attract to Gnus experience the
same problem (with much less emails) on GNU Emacs 22 on
Windows.
