Description ferret 2004-06-26 07:52:39 UTC

It used to take me ages to download all the headers on my IMAP account.  This
patch is a lifesaver.  There's already a header caching patch for mutt in
portage, but I think we need one for IMAP too.

See the URL above for a patch that works with mutt 1.4

Updated Muttrc to add option for imap header caching

I'm not sure if this is the right file to patch for this.  Perhaps the default
muttrc for imap users is actually taken from the mutt tarball; in this case
perhaps this feature addition should be added in an einfo in post_inst or
something.

This works on my box. I did some benchmarks and I've edited the 1.5.6-r2 ebuild which I'll post here.

Updated ebuild

Just for testing I added the 1.5 patch to my webserver in this ebuild, if/when
this is released my server wouldn't be able to cope, so it would have to be
hosted somewhere else. 

PS I also fixed the ebuild so that it doesn't echo the use flags when the use
function is run.

This time with a proper $Header.

Comment 8 ferret 2004-07-14 10:13:56 UTC

This patch is unstable, it breaks when deleting mail items (it tends to try to
delete the one before in some situations).

Closing.  Please reopen/rereport if the patch is fixed.

Comment 9 ferret 2004-07-14 18:03:04 UTC

I'm currently testing a new patch.  Will report if it works any better.
