I tried to set it up for someone else running cooker yesterday, and could not find it ... I had set it up in kmail about 6 weeks ago, and it was even (a bit slowly compared to Mozilla) completing in the To: field IIRC. Maybe we need to file a bug. BTW, KMail seems to be the most reliable client for shared folders in Cyrus so far, Mozilla will do it sometimes, Outlook Express never, and I gave up waiting for Evolution to connect to the IMAP server and read the folders (although I should try again). > > | Get some more ram, and run Mozilla ;-). > > Do you think, that this is not enough? > > $ free > ~ total used free shared buffers cached > Mem: 1031752 807888 223864 0 112072 485060 > - -/+ buffers/cache: 210756 820996 > Swap: 248968 1660 247308 > > The CPUs in this machine are two 2.2 GHz Xeons. > Hmmm, well I run it on a 1GHz Celeron / 256MB ram. I am happy with the GUI speed most of the time (since some features make it worth it IMHO), but what is more irritating is the loss of keyboard input sometimes.
