I get the feeling that mutt and Exchange interacting over IMAP aren't happy companions, am I correct?
I have no local mail, all my mail access is over IMAP. I can use mutt to access my departmental (dovecote) mail server over IMAP and it is quick - downloads 3000+ headers in a second or so. When I use mutt to access the University Exchange server it takes well over 5 seconds to download 250 headers. My configuration is set folder=imaps://[IMAPS server address]/ set hostname=le.ac.uk set imap_keepalive=15 set imap_pass=[my password] set imap_pipeline_depth=0 set imap_user=[my name] set mail_check=90 set spoolfile=imaps://[IMAPS server address]/Inbox set ssl_use_sslv3=yes set timeout=300 I know I can cache the headers (or even bodies if I want) to speed up subsequent accesses, but can I speed up the initial access? I don't need to cache anything with Dovecote as access is so quick. As an aside (Al)pine is fast with both Dovecote and Exchange so it doesn't appear to be an Exchange IMAP problem (although it took MS long enough to sort out IMAP such that common MUAs worked with it at least half heartedly) Thanks John -- John Landamore Department of Computer Science University of Leicester University Road, LEICESTER, LE1 7RH j.landam...@mcs.le.ac.uk Phone: +44 (0)116 2523410 Fax: +44 (0)116 2523604
