I have set folder="~/Maildir/" set header_cache="~/Maildir/" set maildir_header_cache_verify = no
The header cache definitely helps, I can open a 40,000 message maildir in seconds instead of several minutes. However, if the parent directory of the folder I'm viewing, gets modified (let's say I'm in ~/Maildir/.snd/ and I send a new mail), mutt takes a silly time to resync the folder, like 4mn for 40,000 messages. Is there anything I can do to make mutt more bearable in this case like this? Why is mutt resyncing everything when I do have maildir_header_cache_verify set to no? What else can I do to stop this?
