Seems so...
Here's what I have in my .muttrc file (for caching):

There seem to be files in there, so I imagine that the caching is

Settings this permanently decreases performance, especially on large
folders. Though I tend to forget to set it only from time to time... so
I made it permanent, too... :)

Running with debug will tell you. It would be nice if you could
All,
I use procmail + mutt and am running into a problem that is limiting
my usage of mutt. Currently procmail sorts some very high volume
mailing lists into specific folders (mbox format). I'm using mutt as
an IMAP client and when I add these mailboxes to my .muttrc file, mutt

Bill,
What do you have your $mail_check set to?
If I set it to something rather low (15), mutt becomes extremely slow.

Bill, are you saying that after the initial 30 second process for your

Since only headers are downloaded, new message take time to download
when actually first read the message.

It seems a good bit of the problem I am having is related to the
$mail_check period. If I have it too low mutt becomes completely
unresponsive, regardless of what I try to do.
Setting it to a more reasonable value (75 seconds) improves the situation a bit.
I'm uncertain, however, why it takes so
Many thanks, Bill.
Let me tinker with the timers that I have set and I will report back. :)

I was simply tinkering with variuos knobs and buttons in order to
figure out precisely *what* was slowing everything down. :)
By setting $mail_check so low I discovered that it was likely the culprit.

What do you run? If it is Courier, there will be no indices on the server and
all reading is done the moment you access the mailbox. This makes it very
slow.
In this case migrating to e.g. Dovecot will give you an enormous

Hi James,
How many mailboxes you you have defined for checking?
I have LKM and others with more then 100.000 messages in it and it is
very fast. However, if you have more then 20 mailboxes defined, you
will see a decreasing performance while mutt is polling the mailboxes
for new messages.

Heh - fair enough. I've talked to enough people that think checking
mail every second is entirely reasonable that I assumed you fell in
that camp as well.
