i'm not sure what you have available in your environment, but you could get around the slow imap connection by running upas/fs, which can be mounted as a normal fs on linux-2.6.n, n>=13.
i don't use mh, but your description of an mh directory sounds compatable with the upas/fs layout. i've been running upas/fs for about 2 months against an imap server had have no problems. - erik Dan Cross <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes | | On Thu, Jan 19, 2006 at 11:24:36AM -0500, Russ Cox wrote: | > Eventually I might replace the mh programs with code from | > Plan 9 (still leaving the mh disk layout) but I don't expect to | > do that any time soon. | | Personally, I'd rather that wasn't the case.
