Indeed, I can confirm that searching for a keyword in the message's bodies, in a folder with tons of messages takes very long and often the results are terrible. I experienced Mozilla's, e.g. Thunderbird as very fast and providing correct results. As already mentioned, I'm using local POP accounts the size of the mailboxes might be several MiBs, perhaps GiBs. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
