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
Created attachment 34196 [details] 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.

Created attachment 34407 [details] 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 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.
I'm currently testing a new patch. Will report if it works any better.
