A Minimal Email Client
Not sure why but in my case mutt + maildir is really slow. Loading a folder takes around 10s for 300 emails and slightly less than 2m with 3000.

The trick seems to be caching mail headers,

Also if you change folders frequently you can put: set sleep_time=0

Thanks for the advice but i don't think caching is the problem, as i'm using a local directory. It's parsing that takes a very long time. Or does caching take parsing into account? (that's not what the caching guide says)

Something is wrong there. I can open a folder with >50k emails and it takes less than 5 seconds.
