IMAP server with fast search
I run my own email server which support 5 accounts, but a few of the accounts have a lot of messages (4000 in the a single sub-folder is not uncommon), in addition to this I often need to run search for words in the body of the message. Such searches are extremely slow. I have setup with Maildir, and I used to run courier, but switched to dovecot http://packages.debian.org/testing/mail/dovecot-imapd (I don't really like courier folders system), as expected this had no effect on searching. Any recommendation of server with good searching? I've been thinking about a few: Cyrus: Also uses message per file storage, have some indexes, but I don't think these indexes are used for searching UW-IMAP: Having all messages in one file with improve search, but opening and manipulating such big file will slow down server. dbmail: sounds like a good idea, but I am not sure how stable is the server. I also not sure if performance of using mysql 'like' for searching of message body is really big improvement. There is a nice packages for searching archives (e.g. lurker), which are extremely fast, so it would be reasonable to incorporate this search capability in to mail server, right?

Re: A couple of Problems

You meant startx, not xstart. Since /etc/X11/Xmodmap is called from /etc/X11/Xsession, it also would not be invoked from xinit. Same here. Just put the line xmodmap /etc/X11/Xmodmap in your .xsession, that's all you can do :) I prefer using xinit over xdm since I use several different windows managers. So what? Do you want to execute X without any window manager? Just make your .xsession look like this: xmodmap ~/.anything xterm -geometry +0+0 That's all! Vad. ++_ Vadik V.

I'm sending you my /etc/X11/Xsession, install it with permissions 755,
owned by root.root, of course. This is the standard debian Xsession
(maybe it's corrupted on your system). Run xmodmap /etc/X11/Xmodmap or
re-login after installing this file... But I can see you're not a newbie
:)
All the best,
