Comment:
> Are you using the one-file header cache, or per-folder (IOW is
$header_cache a directory)?
There is one header cache file per IMAP folder. (I am using GMail via
IMAP).
> If you actually remove it, then run the same mutt binary twice, does it
still not use the cache?
This was exactly what I did earlier to satisfy my own curiosity. The cache
is still never used.
I am beginning to wonder if something on the system has become
misconfigured. This may be unrelated, but I was working on some code
earlier and noticed that "make" was rebuilding my whole source tree,
rather than just building object files whose source has changed. Am I
right in thinking this could indicate a system time based issue? Does mutt
use the system time in it's header routines?
I'm using ntpd, and after a "ntpd -s" the system time remains correct. I
have also verified that the filesystem time is recorded correctly, which
it is.
I must apologise if this is not a mutt bug after all.
