I converted all of my mbox mailboxes to mbx. I've noticed an increase in performance for my web-based IMAP client. However, I continue to have a problem that existed prior to the conversion.
As I understand it, mbx is more memory efficient than mbox. This being the case, shouldn't it consume less RAM while a mailbox is being read by an IMAP client? This doesn't seem to be happening in my situation. For example, I use SquirrellMail for webmail. There are system-wide resource restrictions on RAM usage preventing any user from utilizing more than 8 MB of RAM via SquirrellMail. My Sent folder would always exceed this amount when I selected "View All"--there are over 3700 emails stored there. I continue to get the error after the conversion to mbx. Am I missing something or did I misinterprete what I read? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ For information about this mailing list, and its archives, see: http://www.washington.edu/imap/c-client-list.html ------------------------------------------------------------------
