The histograms are impressive but I mean simple global statistics like
what Eudora shows.
Visualize is a MailMate bundle that you have to install before you can
use it. You can install it from Preferences ➝ Bundles. Find Visualize
and check the box, and MailMate will install it for you.
I am the author of the bundle, so if you let me know what global
statistics you were given by Eudora (I never used it), I could plan on
including it in Visualize. No promises, especially on the "when", but I
am motivated enough to add features to it, and I've already been
considering adding a "summary statistics" command.
Another caveat is that, from the sounds of it, Eudora's statistics gave
you numbers/plots about your entire inbox or entire message database.
Due to the way bundles work in MailMate, Visualize won't have access to
that. You will have to select messages before you can invoke Visualize
commands.
I have tested Visualize with up to 100,000 messages, and while it takes
a few seconds to generate the plots, it does work eventually. A lot of
that could be the plotting library working, and it might be a lot faster
if what you want are just text-based summaries.
Tip to all Visualize users: if you will be selecting 10s or 100 of
thousands of messages, things run a lot faster if you choose a layout
that doesn't show message preview or thread arcs. The selection itself
happens faster because MailMate doesn't try to render message previews
and thread arcs for a large number of messages.
