Hi, 

I am an old time ELM user, now upgraded to MUTT. I have over 4,000 email
files (each containing multiple emails) in my Mail directory. This is
because I've been collecting emails since 1991 and want to keep them
online so I can refer to them.

However I would like to join the rest of the world and use a web based email
client. 

The problems that I have are:

1. It needs to be able to access them email in the mutt files interchangeably.

2. It needs to work on a web server running Apache 2.

3. If it uses IMAP, it needs to have support for SSL.

I tried roundcube and found that it has two problems that affect me:

a. It does not see my old email files. This could be an IMAP problem
   or another problem. I turned off email caching in roundcube to prevent
   double copies of the files.

b. If I go into folder list on on roundcube, it crashes due to using too
   much cpu time. I have a slow computer, but 128 seconds is a long time.

Anyone have an suggestions for other software?

Geoff.
