Maybe this is an imap thing. It is fairly fast with local Maildirs (my setup). | - All around, it's slow. Even with caching. I find it fast, again using local Maildirs.

Well, if you mean 'i' for "index", 'q' works as well.

It has individual settings for a bunch of things, which would normally be grouped together as an "account" in other clients. Mutt is more flexible as a consequence but also more fiddly. | - No RSS/Usenet support. There's a patch for NNTP, though personally I have a custom "sendmail" script the recognises "group.name@usenet" and funnels it sideways to usenet instead of email. And a usenet article fetcher for the other half. Cheers, -- Cameron Simpson <c...@zip.com.au> Sattinger's Second Law: Even though you've plugged it in, it still won't work until you switch it on.
