FWIW, I use mutt to access imap folders here on zip, and it is very speedy. I sometimes read the first message then hold down 'j' to go through all the messages -- about 150 in 10s. (1) This is mutt 1.3.28-2.2 on debian 3.0., read through ssh. Matt (1) I do this strange thing so that I can get the size in the summary view. I then sort by size (oz) to weed out crap like swen viruses. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
