[9fans] p9p's upas/fs for plan9?

Hi,

I noticed that upas/fs will load all messages into memory on
startup. Since this will take forever with a couple thousand
messages in my mailboxes I wondered wether I am the only one with
that issue. Uriel mentioned that p9p's upas/fs could have a fix on
that issue.

Russ, do you think about bringing these changes back to plan9?

Regards,

Christian

the p9p upas/fs is a completely new program.
i wrote it explicitly to address your problem.
right now it is imap only but modular: i just
didn't write the mbox and pop3 modules.
if someone did that then it could be a candidate
for replacing the plan 9 upas/fs.

the p9p upas/fs expands the format of the overview
files a little, but it's easy enough to adapt the two
or three programs that look at those files.
