So far, only VM/Xemacs allowed me to do that. Even Netscape FreeBSD/NT use different mechanisms to build its "folder summaries" :( Unfortunalty, VM is a memory hog when your mail files starts to grow. I'd be interested to hear if anyone has a similar config. (i guess this should go in the freebsd-questions list?)
