So I have been subscribed to LKML (Linux Kernel Mailing List) for several years on my gmail account. I decided to try to read that email using IMAP with Mutt.
I only have about 460,000+ emails ;) and I did turn on header caching. I never can make it through the entire "Fetching message headers..." phase before the connection dies. This takes about an hour or two for it to die. And after it dies I see a 153 megabyte cache file but when I restart the connection to the IMAP server it starts all over again downloading headers and doesn't seem to use the data that it already downloaded. So I never can finish getting the message headers and therefore can never read my email :( The cache file seems to keep growing every run. Any ideas? Is there a way to say only download N number of headers at a time? I am running Mutt 1.5.20 in Fedora 12 x86_64. ( mutt-1.5.20-1.20090827hg605559.fc12.x86_64 ) Thanks, John
