Hello,

I use mailfilter to, well, filter my mail, and it puts a copy of
(much of) my incoming mail into a Maildir mailbox called "received".
Right now, this mailbox has nearly 700 messages, and opening it takes a
long time.

I started using the headercache feature to speed this up, and was
initially delighted at how fast it was. But I've discovered that when
the mailbox gets new messages, Mutt ignores the outdated header cache and
rereads everything. Since this mailbox gets new mail often, the header
cache is almost always out of date (unless I visit the mailbox twice in
one session) and is actually not very helpful.

Is there any way to optimize this? It seems a bit silly to need to
reread all 700 messages when a single new message has been added. Is
there a way to make this work better, or to get Mutt to intelligently
combine the existing cache while reading in the small number of new
messages?

Thanks,

Dan
