It seems a good bit of the problem I am having is related to the $mail_check period. If I have it too low mutt becomes completely unresponsive, regardless of what I try to do.
Setting it to a more reasonable value (75 seconds) improves the situation a bit. I'm uncertain, however, why it takes so long for mutt to load at first. Isn't that what the header cache is for? What exactly is mutt doing when it first loads and takes ~20sec (on my end) to load everything? -j On Sun, May 31, 2009 at 10:53 AM, bill lam <cbill....@gmail.com> wrote: > On Sun, 31 May 2009, James wrote: >> Bill, are you saying that after the initial 30 second process for your >> Gmail, everything loads up instantly (specific email messages, etc.) >> afterwards? > > Since only headers are downloaded, new message take time to download > when actually first read the message.
