Variable: nnfolder-distrust-mbox

nnfolder-distrust-mbox is a variable defined in nnfolder.el.gz.

Value

nil

Documentation

If non-nil, the folder will be distrusted.

This means that nnfolder will not trust the user with respect to inserting unaccounted for mail in the middle of an mbox file. This can greatly slow down scans, which now must scan the entire file for unmarked messages. When nil, scans occur forward from the last marked message, a huge time saver for large mailboxes.

This is a Gnus server variable. See Info node (gnus)Select Methods.
