I have mail "expire", i.e. get deleted, after 2 weeks for every mailing list I read. However, for high traffic ones (note debian-user is relatively low-traffic for me), that amounts to a steady 12,000 or so mails. Mutt takes at least 10 seconds to load such a Maildir folder. And if it's over IMAP, even locally, forget about it. It'll take at least a minute. -- You win again, gravity! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
