I don't see why; IMAP implements server-side search. <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3501#section-6.4.4> A variety of IMAP servers provide some mechanism of content indexing. If an implementation of SEARCH is lame the maintainers should fix it. -- Adam Tauno Williams <mailto:awill...@whitemice.org> GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
