I find the "one group, one archive group" strategy more convenient when searching for old information. So I switched my nnimap archive groups to nnml groups, and now it works really fast. I also think this is a more efficient long term storage (backup sizes). These archives can also be accessed when I am offsite (webmail, uw-imapd, #mh namespace), so, no real problem here. Thanks for your tips. -- Nicolas
