After that, I'm probably going to be looking at caching message parses, much like what is done now for sortcaching. This will be big boost to users of some clients, including (I hope) Pine and Alpine.
I suppose you mean caching info from the headers. Sounds like this could speed up things quite a bit, at least for smart imap-aware clients. But most people probably use firefox, outlook or som other pop-like client that downsloads everything and keeps a local cache.
I guess the implementation would mean another .mixsomething meta file. In that case, it would be nice to have a mix tools to rebuild this file.
By the way, have you considered automatic rebuild of meta files? Since imapd detects corrupt files, it wuold be easy to rebuid or remove the automatically.
On the other hand, I can't remember when I last needed to rebuid something, so this is probably not an important issue.
