Must have been about gaziljon mails than, or you use an antique cpu? (just joking, no offense..;)
I did that some 2 years ago, and CPU was Athlon XP 2000+, which wasn't the fastest at the time, but I wasn't really impressed when I acquired 64 bit 3500+. Working with images was really fast, but emails are bunch of small files where hard disk performace is more important, and there wasn't much difference. BTW, that was the reason to switch to mbox format from KMail default maildir. The mbox keeps all emails in one file, so hard disk performace was important only once when that file was read in RAM. Well, story is not that simple, you have to copy your whole Mail directory to for instance Mailone, remove Mail and rename Mailone to Mail, every once in a while. That is replacement for disk defragmenter. Thanks to the way ext3 is handling that once is a while doesn't mean once a month, merely once in a year, and only for something like mbox that is used daily and growing fast. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
