Something you may want to check is see if your IMAP server supports server side sorting. If it does, enable it in your config/config.php file... That often helps a lot. The other thing that often needs looking into is the IMAP server itself. Sometimes if an IMAP server is slow, apache/php/squirrelmail can chunk up a lot of memory processing the details. I've noticed this in particular with UW-IMAP because of the method of storing mail results in a long time to process large mailboxes. Also the default compile of UW-IMAP stores mail in ~/ which results in all files being read in that directory, even those that aren't mail folders. -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: ValueWeb: Dedicated Hosting for just $79/mo with 500 GB of bandwidth!
