Thanks Jamie, would you know what is the difference between gdbm and 
tokyocabinet in real performance terms on mutt?  This is what I have built 
mutt with:

hcache backend: GDBM version 1.8.3. 10/15/2002 (built Dec 16 2010 21:38:04)


I have seen this post which claims that on an imap server, the network latency 
is the bottleneck, rather than the comparative database performance.

I have also tried accessing a different IMAP account hosted on a courier 
server, which has less than 200 messages on it and only INBOX plus two 
folders.  It is really fast (a couple of seconds) compared to Gmail which 
takes minutes.
