Sync the store to your local box by other means (see below) and read it
that way.  Or just run mutt on the server over ssh, but this has some
disadvantages: saved attachments will be on the server and you'll have
to download them (minor), and to handle PGP/GPG you'll have to put your
secret key on the server (major).

"Other means" are:

1. offlineimap - well tested and works great, but you still need IMAP.
2. maildirsync - no IMAP needed, but somewhat obscure and slow.
3. unison - if you can use an Ocaml compiler on the server :-P
4. rsync - if you only ever sync with ONE workstation, this MIGHT work
(but I never tried it)

Myself I just switched from 3 to 5,  when I could no longer tolerate the

Are you using any unusual headers for e.g. coloring? That may make mutt
need to fetch the complete message instead of fetching it from the

I don't know if it's an option for your situation, but you might
consider offlineimap. For a folder of size about 1000, it took 2 seconds
to open it. Of course, this is after using offlineimap to download the
messages locally.

 evaluating the cache (when I switch into a big folder) is 
 significantly slower when I use Terminal.app than if I use 
 xterm/rxvt over Apple's X11.

That's why they recently added $time_inc (it's not in a released 
version of mutt yet; just in the current development tree). Here's the  
description from the development manual:

 Along with read_inc, write_inc, and net_inc, this variable
 controls  the  frequency  with  which  progress updates are dis-
 played. It suppresses updates less than time_inc  milliseconds
 apart.  This  can improve throughput on systems with slow termi-
 nals, or when running mutt on a remote system.

 This is puzzling, since I thought caching has nothing to do with the 
 terminal choice.  Anybody know why this would be, and/or how I can 
 do something about it?

Caching doesn't have anything to do with the terminal choice, BUT 
since mutt is single-threaded, it can be slowed down by anything that 
requires updating the display. No operations in mutt can happen at the 
same time, so mutt has to pause what it's doing (e.g. caching) to 
update the terminal. If the terminal is slow, that pause can take 
longer, and will make the total action take longer.

Put another way, the length of time required to do a given complex 
action is the sum of all time required to perform the components of 
that action. In the example of updating the cache, you are also asking 
mutt to update the display. In the simple example of a folder with 
1000 messages, if read_inc is 1, you are asking mutt to update the 
display 1000 times, so the length of time required to cache those 1000 
messages is the sum of the time to read 1000 messages, the time to 
write the necessary information to the cache, and the time to update 
the terminal 1000 times. Thus, the way to reduce the impact of a slow 
terminal is to make mutt update the terminal less often---by 
specifying a $read_inc of, say, 50 or 100. Using $time_inc allows mutt 
to condense display updates that are close together in time into a 
single display update, which reduces the impact of a slow terminal 
without reducing the granularity of the display (as increasing 
$read_inc does).

 FWIW: I built using the BerkeleyDB libraries, since the other 
 choices refuse to work with OSX.  (Actually, I finally got mutt to 
 build with gdb, but mutt behaved *really* weird with screen-drawing, 
 so gdb is a no-go on OSX).

I use qdbm on my Mac and am very happy with it (it's *really* fast). 
If I recall correctly, several people have discovered odd performance 
problems with BerkeleyDB on OSX.

Ouch.  PLEASE make sure that (1) swapping isn't necessary, (2) your 
CPU is mostly idle when you do measurements, (3) mutt (or, for that 
matter, evolution) is the only process which competes for disk 
access.

Opening the Maildir took close to 5 minutes (the first time), but 
at least the load only went up to 5 and the system also felt more 
responsible.  

That's interesting - seems to translate to less disk accesses per 
unit time, which could mean that evolution is a bit slower at 
opening maildir folders.

(Bad enough, I can't make any reasonable measurements myself - I 
don't have Evolution installed, it's not available as a package for 
the distribution I use, and, finally, maildir is mostly kernel-bound 
here - at a certain point, ext2 eats most of the CPU.)

The 2nd time it took 15 seconds (!!).  I don't know, but judging 
this tremendous speedup, I suppose Evolution is keeping a cache 
of somesorts which causes it not to read the whole directory. 
That's just too much of a speedup, I'd say.

Seems so.

Now, such a cache will have to introduce explicit locking with 
maildir folders.  But the entire point with this folder format is 
that you do not have to lock explicitly, because the locking which 
is needed happens in the filesystem, when it guarantees that 
directories are consistent.

In mutt, changing from the default date/date sort to subject/date 
takes, uhm, 1 second.  But enabling threads (thread/date) takes 
MUCH longer, to be exact, it took about 2 minutes 30 seconds.

Try a newer version. Someone has contributed a patch which improves 
mutt's threading algorithm to O( n log n ); it is in mutt-1.3.21.

 Please perform the timing experiment with both mutt and Evolution 
 several times, without doing much in between.

Timing sheet:

Mailer| Action  | Time
--+-+--
mutt  | Open mbox - 1st run | 55 seconds
mutt  | Open mbox - 2nd run | 22 seconds
mutt  | Open MDir - 1st run | n/a

Evolution | Open mbox - 2nd run | 10 seconds
Evolution | Open MDir - 1st run | about 5 minutes
Evolution | Open MDir - 2nd run | 15 seconds

Explanations:

Okay, I now converted an even larger mail spool to Maildir.  This one is
about 154M and has 33271 messages in it.

Opening the Maildir takes about 3 minutes 40 seconds.  This is, after I
had opened it already several times.  Also, when I close mutt, it takes
another 20 seconds for mutt to exit.  On the bottom of the screen, mutt
writes: Mailbox unverändert. (Mailbox unchanged (?)).

Opening the mbox file (which I had converted to the above Maildir with
mutt), takes close to 55 seconds the first time I open the mbox (ie.,
when the mbox is not cached by the system) and only 22 seconds
afterwards.  Also quiting mutt is WAY faster.  Only a delay of 1 or 2
seconds.

Also the load when opening the Maildir is WAY higher compared to the
mbox file.  Load when opening the mbox is about 2, Maildir is about 6.
Okay, I've got setiathome running, so one may substract 1 (? right?).

On to the Evolution results.

Opening the Maildir took close to 5 minutes (the first time), but at
least the load only went up to 5 and the system also felt more
responsible.  The 2nd time it took 15 seconds (!!).  I don't know, but
judging this tremendous speedup, I suppose Evolution is keeping a
cache of somesorts which causes it not to read the whole directory.
That's just too much of a speedup, I'd say.

Now, Evolution is really bad with mbox'es.  Not so much when it comes to
comparing opening speeds, but much more so when a message is deleted
from a mbox.  This just takes ages.  So I wouldn't recommend mbox to
anyone using Evolution.  Anyhow, opening the mbox took 40 seconds.
Having a look at the mutt mbox times, I'd assume that the mbox was still
cached by the system.

Opening the mbox in a 2nd run, it took Evolution only about 10 seconds
to open it.  This really makes me believe that it somehow caches it.

Also sorting is WAY faster in Evolution than it is in mutt.  The above
times already contain the time used to sorting the spool.  Resorting it
(eg. changing from Subject to Sender) takes no time (1 second).
Enabling threaded mode also takes no time.

In mutt, changing from the default date/date sort to subject/date takes,
uhm, 1 second.  But enabling threads (thread/date) takes MUCH longer, to
be exact, it took about 2 minutes 30 seconds.

The Evolution times stay somewhat constant even after I did some
things.  I *really* get the impression that it caches it somehow.

the pager and try to view the message again I have the same 
problem. If I exit mutt and come back in and try to view the 
message again I have the same problem. I can view any other 
message in my inbox except this one.

Also If I press v to view the attachments, then tag and forward 
them to myself. The message is fine! So I believe that the problem 
is something in the message header.

Do you happen to have some rather complex regular expressions which 
are used for header coloring?

(Actually, I'd be curious where you got these regular expressions 
 from since you are the second one to ask about this version of the 
problem today - I'm almost tempted to assume that some linux 
distribution has screwed up their default configuration...)

 I'm running mutt 1.2.5i and I am experiencing a very strange problem.
 When I attempt to read messages from certain senders it takes minutes to
 display the message. For example if I press v on the message to see the
 attachments it comes up instantly. These are the attachments on one such
 message:
 
 I 1 no description  [text/plain, 7bit, iso-8859-1, 2.2K]   
 A 2 flu5xben_pentium4_01.xls  [applica/vnd.ms-exc, base64, 25K] 
 

Could it be that you have an auto_view setting for
'application/vnd.ms...' and mutt is trying to invoke the app for
viewing the attachment.

what you describe seems more related to the attachment then anything
to do with the headers...

Thanks for the suggestion, but I complete disabled all of my autoviews (I never
had any for this MIME type anyway) and that did not resolve the problem. 

Any other suggestions?

Thanks, 

Troy
