I was alluding to more of it being a resource pig.. Which it is of course. We also discussed some possible solutions to make this not a resource pig. I'm in favor of the 14-60 day archives and treat it much in the same way we do for ~'/.maildir/.spam/ folders where we simply flush old mails. I'll get a chance to meet up with taco and robbin tmw.. I do hope to poke them to see where they stand on what they see as an ideal solution..
