I occasionally run into issues where mairix mis-parses mail - but they are mostly spams that I haven't deleted. Otherwise, I am basically happy with mairix. I see it as mature software that doesn't need regular maintenance.

I just had a look at notmuch and decided it was notmuch use since it can't handle mbox. >Unfortunately, my mairix database is around 750M with around 11GB of >mail and updating it takes a while... I have ~20GB mail (all in mbox format) spread over several directories (which is another thing notmuch can't handle) and my database is ~670MB. Building the database from scratch is rather time-consuming but I virtually always just do an incremental rebuild - which takes about a minute. One performance issue I did run into was that mairix's approach of creating a big mmap region and writing into it causes problems on FreeBSD+ZFS. My hack-around was to malloc(3) the space and then write(2) it at the end - this doubles the size of the process when rebuilding the database but it massively sped it up. I have been toying with getting rid of the massive malloc()+write() by either creating an alternative database format with the indices at the end (so it can be written sequentially) or using writev(2) to build the database in pieces. -- Peter Jeremy
