Mutt is accessing a maildir directory with a several subdirectories directly. All of them are added as mailboxes so I can jump to unread mails. During startup and folder changing mutt is accessing all the mailboxes. > > From your first mail it does look as if you had little free memory and that > swap was in use. I noticed that as well. During the last days memory usage was not that high so maybe this is the reason why I did not see any errors. I will continue running latest git and see if a get the errors again when more memory is being used.
