Hi, I'm running Mutt on Debian unstable and have not been able to get header caching to work. I've created a directory "mutt-headercache" in $HOME:
% ls -ld ~/mutt-headercache drwxrwxr-x 2 me me 4096 2009-03-21 22:19 /home/me/mutt-headercache/ and put this in my ~/.muttrc: set header_cache = ~/mutt-headercache/ set header_cache_pagesize = '32000' ":set ?header_cache" returns "header_cache=~/mutt-headercache/" But this directory remains completely empty at all times. I'm using pop3, mbox & ext3. TIA for any suggestions on how to get this working, John ---- More info: # tune2fs -l /dev/hda1 ...
