Finally it happened again. Looks like `notmuch new` was running around midnight, then suspend&resume and few retchmail&procmails. Anyway, on command line: $ time notmuch search tag:archive >/tmp/aaa real 0m4.840s user 0m1.709s sys 0m0.301s and with this muttrc config: virtual-mailboxes \ [...] 'ARCHIVE' 'notmuch://?query=tag:archive' \ [...] when opening that "folder", it took about a minute. Looks like this is problem with mutt then and I'll focus there. Thank you, Jan -- Jan Hutar Systems Management QA jhutar@redhat.com Red Hat, Inc.
