I've used mutt over a 14Kbps link with latencies in the |
10 |
200-300ms range. You'll need to configure it so that it doesn't |
11 |
check for new mail very often, and limit the number of |
12 |
mailboxes it's checking for incoming mail. You'll also want to |
13 |
make sure that header caching is enabled. I think the cache |
14 |
supoprt is built by default these days, but you'll need to |
15 |
enable it by setting the header_cache configuration variable in |
16 |
your .muttrc file so that it points to the file where you want |
17 |
the header cache database stored. |
