The mail is stored in a K6-2/300MHz running Cyrus IMAPD 2.0.17 on NetBSD 1.6. The client is a dual Pentium III running FreeBSD 5.0-RC. Since Cyrus has its own way of storing mail, there's no such thing a direct access. > It takes my computer a few seconds to open my biggest mailboxes > (~16,000 messages each, 68 and 54 megs, resp.), and I've been Is that through IMAP or direct?

I once thought about using Maildir too, but when it came time to switch to IMAP, I tried Cyrus first (my other choice was Courier), and since it works so well, never looked back.
