A mailfile, as I understand it, is the whole thing merged into one file, with a blank line or something as a separator, and an index file containing the starting offset and read status of each message in the main file to speed up the search for new mail. The fly in that soup is of course that other message marks aren't preserved if the index file has to be completely rebuilt, a time consuming process when an individual folder or directory has 90,000+ emails in it. Even maildirs can be slow to enter when there are 90,000+ files to search for the 3 unread msaages newly arrived, on this system its about 9 seconds of watching the curser spin. Mailfiles are even slower here. That strikes me as a fragile system, and has been adequately proved so at my location, so until I run out of entry's in the directory, I will stick with a file per message format. YMMV, and I could be wrong. But that is AIUI. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
