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
May I suggest:
4> Migrate to DBMail (http://DBMail.org/) with a MySQL backend.
That is where I put about all my archives.
