Is there some way to speed it up when sorting? This is a known issue, the message is quite bogus. It does perform a check for new mail on all mailboxes (regardless of $mail_check). You can't turn that off. If your mutt is recent enough and you really have so many mailboxes, look at $imap_pipeline_depth and play with it once you know what it does. Rocco
