I agree that maildir format is better in most respects than mbox.If I create another folder, and leave it where squirrelmail can access, it
still has to upload the file when using squirrelmail I think.
uh, sounds like you're using UW-IMAP (mbox)... things will get tremendously faster if you switch to a 'real' IMAP server using maildir format
However, you can keep UW-IMAP and simply use mbx (not mbox) format boxes to get a similar gain.
Note mbox isn't even the preferred format suggested by UW.
From http://www.washington.edu/imap/documentation/formats.txt.html
. mbx This is the current preferred mailbox format.
Because UW-IMAP only serves whatever the mail is stored as on the server, and most *nix distros only have mbox format mailstores by default, many people who never skim the documentation think mbox is all UW does.
This is slightly off topic, so I recommend digging around at http://www.washington.edu/imap/documentation/ and the comp.mail.imap newsgroup for more detailed information on how to convert.
Good luck :) Ray
