Hi all,

I'm responding back about a thread Tomas and I had going, titled:

> Subject: Re: [SM-USERS] How many messages is squirrelmail designed to handle?
> Dates: 
  Tue, 29 Apr 2008 04:11:25 +0000 (UTC)
+ 28 april.


Anyhow, Tomas recommended a few things with people who have a large mailbox and 
who access it via squirrelmail. You may refer to the original thread, which 
lists some fantastic ideas, mainly: 
 

* enable sort mailbox to load larger messages. 
** Use date/size sorting if you can [compared to subject and from/to]


I wonder:

Would moving messages from the inbox folder to another folder be a piece of 
advice one should follow? Some users I know time out via imap squirrelmail 
webmail and I have seen the suggestion that one should move mail to another 
squirrelmail folder and just view new messages in the inbox. Well, while that 
allows a person to view their inbox all swell and dandy when new messages come 
in, if they ever view that archive folder where they moved mail to, won't they 
experience the same problems of timing out when viewing it. Right?

I'm also concerned that even if they move mail messages to another folder, they 
still won't be able to do search queries on their messages, since those queries 
on that large collection will still time out since the folder is big.
