Hello everyone, I subscribed to this list on May,2004. So far, I haven't delete any message at all because once in a while I perform a search against it whenever I need to find out about something (rather than going to the redhat archive). I use Kmail on a Tualatin 1.4 Ghz, 512 MB and a 7200 RPM IDE disk. I now have 24,219 messages on the folder. I'm NOW starting to feel it. Although I was used to the 6-8 seconds it took Kmail to load...now when I click on the Fedora-list folder, it takes about 1.5 seconds before it shows me a message at all. What do you recommend me? Should I: 1> Buy a 10K RPM SCSI hard-disk? (would I notice a big improvement?) 2> Switch to maildir format? 3> Delete old msg's and get the habit of using redhat archive? Comments are welcome! Jorge
