I currently use 7.0.4 for reading & sending of mail.

At our site we have our own home grown mail reader which has seen better days
(8 years old). But one of its major advantages over other mail readers that
I have seen is that it has index files, so the startup on a large folder is
very much quicker than the likes of mush.

Has/Is anyone developed(ing) index files for mush. I have looked at the 
load_folder code and it would be quite easy to implement indexes. If noone is
doing this then I shall write the code myself.
