Not sure why but in my case mutt + maildir is really slow. Loading a folder takes around 10s for 300 emails and slightly less than 2m with 3000.

- dumb1224 6y agoThe trick seems to be caching mail headers, https://gitlab.com/muttmua/mutt/-/wikis/MuttGuide/Caching https://gitlab.com/muttmua/mutt/-/wikis/MuttGuide/Caching Also if you change folders frequently you can put: set sleep_time=0

- southerntofu 6y agoThanks for the advice but i don't think caching is the problem, as i'm using a local directory. It's parsing that takes a very long time. Or does caching take parsing into account? (that's not what the caching guide says)
- eikenberry 6y agoSomething is wrong there. I can open a folder with >50k emails and it takes less than 5 seconds.
