I use offlineimap with mutt, and found that switching to a maildir containing of the order of 10,000 emails was a somewhat slow (taking perhaps a minute or so), even with maildir header caching configured. I recompiled mutt with tokyo-cabinet support (which allows mutt to use a tokyo cabinet database for the backend header-cache database), and opening the same maildir now takes a couple of seconds at most. If nothing else appears to be the cause of your speed issues, you might like to try that. HTH, Toby -- Dr T. S.
