sorry about that. (i was the maintainer in the years up until mark's
death.) the ruinously bad property of uw-imap's MH implementation, which
i could not fix due to an impedance mismatch between the protocol and
the MH message number definition, is that whenever you refile a message,
both folders have to be fully rescanned.
For my archives I'm now thinking that maybe I should just convert it all to
Maildir. Hmm.
that's what i did. but now i have no shell tools that do what "pick"
does. ouch.
i know it's not pick, but i find i mostly use mairix on my mail even
though it's all in MH folders, simply because it's so much faster. i
often run pick on the resulting mairix results folder, though.
