I have a 2nd IMAP account that I move mail to. That account do have all mail, in folders by year and month. Not more than 15-20k/mailbox, but tons of mailboxes. Easy to search still. I.e. I deal with it by splitting into multiple mailboxes. Why I have two accounts? Well, so that when I do normal search I only search in the "recent email" IMAP server while "search all mail" will search also the backup map account with the large number of email. Patrik
