Thanks for the tip. This is close to what I want, but when I run 'mutt -y' I just see all the folders I put next to the "mailboxes" command and a 0 beside each one, whether or not there are new messages in them. If this is an IMAP problem, as I said before, I don't mind switching to mbox or whatever, but the process is somewhat laborious for me. And assuming the -y list can tell me which folders have new mail, is there a way to do that from inside mutt, or should I just quit and restart? > it will almost definitely be faster with local mbox folders. > > > Also, I saw a "maildir header caching" patch by Michael Elkins - > > is that relevant to my problem? > > only if you're using Maildir. helps out a bit (a lot in certain cases). Do you know if mbox or maildir+patch is quicker? With whatever the quickest one is, is it pretty fast to switch between folders with, say, 10000 messages? Thanks again for any info. -- Ben Escoto
