I would redirect and say that my point is that the *mechanism* by which courier-imap updates the uid file feels like it could use improvement. Regardless of which filesystem you use, if you have (for example) 10,000 messages in a single folder, simply copying a message to that folder results in a large amount of I/O and quite a bit of CPU time as well. -- Applying computer technology is simply finding the right wrench to pound in the correct screw.
