Well, looking at offlineimap has lead me to notmuch as well which has got me thinking down those lines too! :-) However, for me, moving to offlineimap involves quite a bit of reconfiguration work as I currently use mbox and I don't have an IMAP server running on the machine where the E-Mails initially get delivered. So I just need to decide which of many possible routes will serve me best. -- Chris Green
