The oldest mails are always at the beginning of the mailbox. So just search for all mails and stop searching when you encounter a mail with too high save_date. About the code: > rc = gettimeofday( &now, NULL); Just use ioloop_time (from ioloop.h). It's updated all the time automatically and it's close enough to the current time always. Other than that (and the SEARCH_BEFORE) it looked good.
