Re: mbox folder with >1000 files is slow
Hi, Sorry to reply to my e-mail but I just remembered something after sending the e-mail: My company switched to using LDAP a while back (and my Mail directory is mounted via LDAP). The issues didn't start at that time, but I had less Mail files then. Most likely LDAP has something to do with the slowness I would think.

mbox folder with >1000 files is slow
Hi all, I'm using mutt v1.5.21 on RHEL5 and I use mbox format. My "Mail" directory has over 1000 files in it :( Okay, that's on me. My issue is that when I enter on a mutt command line to expand a filename, and if there is greater than one match to my substring, it takes mutt on the order of 10's of seconds to expand the "hits" into a listing. If there is exactly one match, the filename expansion is nearly instantaneous. Furthermore, if I then want to move down the expanded list, it takes mutt several seconds to execute each "next-entry" command. Is this a mutt bug? Or do I just need to take the time to clean up my Mail directory and archive/remove any non-essential mail files? Regards, -- Mun

Re: Mutt on Mac Mini
We had quite some issues with the keyboard - especially the function keys and pageup -down on our Mac. If you use Midnight Commander you better take a full size keyboard (even 'learning' keys with mc didnt work well). Otherwise no complaints with all the mentioned programs.

You can easily compile source and install that way but > Macports will save a lot of time and sometimes > headeaches :-) The OP might want to look at homebrew [1] as an alternative to MacPorts. Everything is installed to its own prefix and then symlinked to /usr/local/bin (by default, you can install to ~/bin or wherever if you prefer), and homebrew makes use of system libraries where possible rather than compiling its own. The homebrew directory is a git repo too which makes updates and managing personalisations a piece of cake.
