Hi, From the docs:
When you visit an IMAP folder, VM will download copies of the messages that it finds there for you to read. These messages are saved locally in a folder on the disk, in the directory specified by `vm-imap-folder-cache-directory' (or `vm-folder-directory' if the former is not defined). It seems that VM maintains the local copies in a single mailbox file, which quickly tend to grow very big, hence slow. Is it possible to maintain the local copies in a maildir style format? -- Johan
