Hello :)
1) My gcc-patches mailbox, MBX, recently passed 50k messages. I'm a
little curious whats going to happen at 65k. What is the maximum amount
of message allowed? Is there a maximum total disk size? (So far, the
mailbox only takes about 300MB or about 7KB per message.)
2) What is the algorithmical complexity of selecting and synchronizing a
MBX mailbox? On my machine, it appears to be roughly proportional to
the time it takes to 'cat' the mailbox, so I'd suspect its linear. The
above mailbox takes about five seconds to open on an unloaded machine
with a clear disk cache (or about half a second if its in cache).
2.5) Is there any possibility of a c-client compatible mailbox format
for which selecting, synchronizing, and other common operations are
constant-time? Presently my mail usually takes about half a minute to
open (There are many folders.), and if I could get that down to less
than a second, I'd be tickled silly.
Thanks in advance for any insight and advice!
