Ugh. What kind of iron is that, and what version of FreeBSD? What
impact on performance has the IMAP server? IOW, how long does it
take to open such a maildir if you access it directly?
It takes my computer a few seconds to open my biggest mailboxes
(~16,000 messages each, 68 and 54 megs, resp.), and I've been
thinking about going to Maildir because it lasts too long... Of
course, I don't access my ~/Mail through an IMAP server...
