I have background indexing turned on and I'm using a relatively quick machine. My message database is around 90 Mb, and when I do search PM can take more than 5 minutes to 'sort and optimize' my database. For this reason I don't search very often (perhaps every two or three days). Looking in my 'PowerMail Files' folder, I see that the 'Message Database index' dates from my last major PM upgrade in October 2006 and carries neither type nor creator (so the Finder doesn't what to use to open it) .
Is such slowing searching normal? And, if so, would FoxTrot be equally slow if I invested in it as a standalone? -- Charles PM 5.5.3 - Intel iMac - OS 10.4.8
