You could use procmail on the server itself to do the filtering and you'll most likely notice a definite speed increase. > squirrelmail? slow? you've gotta be kidding me... > > it was kinda slow back in the day when i was using mbox style mail > directories, but once i moved to Maildir it was pretty fast. Which makes sens as mbox is one large flat file as opposed to many small files for Maildir. Maildir is far superior in many ways to mbox. > > email me off list, and i'll hook you up with an account on my squirrelmail > install if you want to compare things. Or he could create a new account on his own box, and not use the built-in filtering as a comparison too. It's best to test making only one small change at a time. You two could have vastly different setups and he'll get a more accurate sense of where the speed problems lie by systematically changing his own setup.
