Correct. In practice, the mailbox list/message caches should be set as long as possible to retain that information as long as possible. This is why memcache is so great for this (you can set it for an extremely long time, but data not used the longest will get pushed out once the memcache pool is full). But we need small default lifetimes simply because the default caching is files, and we don't want to exhaust the local filesystem in the default configuration. michael -- ___________________________________ Michael Slusarz [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- IMP mailing list - Join the hunt: http://horde.org/bounties/#imp Frequently Asked Questions: http://horde.org/faq/ To unsubscribe, mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
