Hi,
Mac mail (a horribly mis-behaved client, it seems), has a horribly hard time deleting/copying large blocks of messages from one folder to another. The basic symptom is:
- Select a bunch of messages
- Click on delete
- Wait for a _very_ long time.
It also seems very slow on copying, so it may be the "trash folder copy on delete" that is really slowing it down.
Mailbox or Maildir? Can you give any idea/examples of how large the boxes are, and how large the deleted/copied bunches of messages are? ("Large" both as in bytes and as in number of messages).
Ooops, sorry:
mbox, large number of messages = 2MB of mail in a folder, 875 messages.
