[Coco] drive crash

[Gene Heskett]

Greets all;

In the process of recovering from a failing terrabytew drive on this box, I 
thought I would see about converting some huge mailfiles, that were how kmail 
did it in "the early years".

The quickest way so it seemed was to setup a 2nd Local Account that would 
process these mailfiles when one was moved to that location, and in the 
process would seperate the messages into indiviudal directory entries, 
commonly call maildir.

The mailfile for the coco list, dates back to 2002, and was just shy of 5 
gigabytes!  It took kmail about 20 minutes to process that file, and when it 
was done I had about 82,000 unread messages in the new coco maildir.

And kmail is about 10x faster finding the next unread message now.

Fun & games with a new install specfically for running a simulated linuxcnc.

So, anyone who has tried to access my web page since last friday night, it 
should be back up now.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
