Without the header cache, each message's headers are processed before the mailbox can be used. For large mailboxes (>10000 messages), this can take minutes. To use the header cache, users must enable it in their configuration. It's following up on this: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2016-03/msg00055.html I checked, and bdb and gdbm are already both in mutt's build-time dependency graph (openldap refers to bdb and python refers to gdbm). I've chosen gdbm for it's small size and because it's a GNU project. If anyone says they prefer another database, then let's talk!
