I see slow downs when running exmh over DSL and scanning a large folder. I'm not sure why. It's quite a bit faster when running exmh locally for the same large folder. > FWIW, I store my nmh folders in AFS, and that mostly works well for > mobility, but doesn't really solve the problem in the general case. I'd forgotten about AFS. It looks like there's quite a bit of interest in getting that to work on mobile devices. But, I didn't see anything actually available for use. > I suspect the only true long-term solution is IMAP, but that is a LOT > of work (but if Heirloom mailx and mailutils can do it, I don't see > any fundamental reason we cannot). Ah yes, IMAP raises its head again. I wouldn't trust me to code anything in nmh. But, I can test things and report results, should this ever get off the ground.
