Saifi, The mails are all indexed. And it actually takes more than 30 sec. But when I delete a mail from a folder containg fewer mails <1000, it takes just 4,5 seconds. The app shows that it is storing folder and even shows percentage completed. Something like: Storing folder (23% complete)..
Everything is on local machine, no NFS.
