Message: [QUOTE="Michal 'hramrach' Suchanek, post: 4451661"] Sure, mutt is very configureble and has many nice features. And I am actually using it. The problem is it is slow. I would trade some extra features for fast access over slow lines, fast operation on large mailboxes, easy accessibility from anywhere. My mutt setup uses crm114 and contains hundreds of megabytes of mail. It makes it qute non-portable. It must be at the source of the mail, so I have to connect through ssh which has poor performance over slower connection. Also ssh is unfortunately not the standard equipment yet (it is on everything but Windows). Yet another problem with mutt is that it is not multithreaded (or does not use synchronization properly) so it is really slow when operating on mailboxes containing ~25k messages which do receive new mail. At the first glance, gmail seems to solve the problem that made me store my mail on my hardrive in the first place - space. And it solves the problem that made me hate webmails - speed. All other webmails I tried were even slower than mutt on 25k mailbox over ssh :/ If I do not find any major gmail drawbacks I am going to move there :) Thanks Michal Suchanek [/QUOTE]
