I agree with this last statement. The backend has a _lot_ to do with this issue. We use an NFS appliance for a backend that we were experiencing problems with (high latency) that caused the same issue with large mailboxen. After correction I can open a maildir mailbox with 40,000+ messages successfully (after about 2 minutes). Using Courier, server-side sorting, SM 1.4.5. Make sure your disks, etc are fast and aren't experiencing high IO load and are optimized for reading. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
