You are not alone. I have experienced the same issue with Cyrus 2.1.18 and a mailbox of approximately 37,000 messages (the debian-user mailing list). A recent upgrade to Cyrus 2.2.12 didn't seem to change anything. Browsing the folder is fairly snappy but viewing a message is all but impossible. I haven't taken the time to poke through the message retrieval code yet, but I imagine that this can be fixed considering how fast mutt or even Apple Mail can grab a message from the same folder. Just for the record, I am running Debian 3.1, Mysql 4.1.11, Apache 2.0.54, php 4.3.10, and Cyrus 2.2.12. -- Steve Block http://steveblock.com/ http://ev-15.com/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Steve Block [EMAIL PROTECTED]
