I have tons of mail, all in mbox. Header caching works for mbox also :^) I find mbox plenty fast from non ssd drive over nfs with header caching. I have 7 or 8 with > 10000 msgs but keep my working instance of mutt alive in a tmux, similar to screen, session. But still even over nfs I seldom see a wait > 5 or 6 seconds for a *new* instance of mutt. For better local control, I frequently even run a *local* instance of mutt with ~/.muttrc adjusted to access the remote nfs mail files. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net
