Description Sonja Krause-Harder 2006-10-26 12:46:29 UTC

I get my mail on wotan and read it with mutt over NFS. Since roughly alpha4+ mutt is so slow that it is unusable. I can still reproduce the problem with a clean install of beta1 (HOME is old, of course).

 Using the same .muttrc and the same NFS home on a SLES 10 system works fine. I have no idea where to start to debug this. Any advice? The affected system is chomsky, feel free to have a look.

Tell me the last changelog entry of mutt by using

      rpm -q --changelog mutt | head

btw. I'm also using the latest mutt and I do not have any problems.
Maybe you're automount options are broken (e.g. wrong rsize/wsize).

OK, just fopund out that the sidebar patch reads all mailboxes
to get informations about the number of unread mails. I've now
disabled this if and only if the sidebar feature is not used.

Without using the sidebar feature all should be as fast as before.
