Dear Debian User, Of late, I've observed that opening my Maildir boxes in Mutt has been a tad slow. Here is the rough structure:
I have an LVM home directory (ext4), within which I have a folder called ~/Maildir. This folder has several Maildirs, say inbox, debian-user etc., each of which gets its mail delivered using procmail. tune2fs gives me these features: has_journal ext_attr resize_inode dir_index filetype needs_recovery extent flex_bg sparse_super large_file huge_file uninit_bg dir_nlink extra_isize Of late, I've observed that folders with over 1000 messages seem quite slow to respond (order of 3-4 seconds), which wasn't really happening in the old days when I was using mboxes. I prefer Maildir since I can use notmuch to index my mails easily. Is there something I could to to speed things up? For instance, I could create a 20 GB file, create another filesystem on it and mount it as my Maildir, if that would help. Thanks. Kumar -- 'Ooohh..
