Thanx Ian,
it is really an unsolvable problem, since I have to change my
mbox managing style to make it work.
I would suggest to program mairix to make its private swap,
ie to write everything to a file while working. Is of course slow,
but we can run mairix on idle times anyway (cron).
Unfortunately i do not have time to dedicate myself to that now.
Maybe in the future.
Thanx .......
