Ok, so maybe I'm crazy, but couldn't the UID be generated in a reversable form from the filename itself? Thereby eliminating the database and allowing a message to keep it's UID across file moves?
Maybe I'm oversimplifying, but is there a reason such a scheme is impossible? m/ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jon Nelson Sent: Monday, March 10, 2003 8:01 AM To: Courier-Users Subject: Re: [courier-users] imapd slow I would redirect and say that my point is that the *mechanism* by which courier-imap updates the uid file feels like it could use improvement. Regardless of which filesystem you use, if you have (for example) 10,000 messages in a single folder, simply copying a message to that folder results in a large amount of I/O and quite a bit of CPU time as well. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
