OK, gloves off ;-P # /usr/bin/time --portability nice ionice -c3 find -O3 /var/mail/mailsec/shared-r[ow] -type f -name 1\* -printf x | wc -c real 73.32 user 2.98 sys 10.03 2068625 That's an email corpus from Jan 2009 to present, stored in /<year>/<week-of-year> folders, accessed via prayer via dovecot 1.2.9. We used tbird in the past, but had problems tricking bolting on some unusual workflows. Also at the time dovecot exported ~/Mail over IMAP, and tbird read IMAP and saved copies back into THE SAME ~/Mail over NFS... with hilarious consequences.
