Am I missing something? Why would you need this? - afterhours

Yes, you are missing something. In Tiger, when you get above certain thresholds, such as 15k messages in one of my mail boxes, things slow to a crawl in Mail. Is this fixed in Leopard?

As for keeping a backup of your email that can be readily searched, Filemaker is as good as anything else -- and in a corporate environment, one needs to make backups for archival or Sarbanes Oxley compliance.

This is the best e-mail archiving program that I've used. I have an enormous quantity of e-mails going back over several years that I've stored using this software. If I need anything from any of them, which I do from time to time, this software finds what I'm looking for WAY FASTER than spotlight. And, since my "Mail" program is no longer carrying such a huge database it's faster, too. If you're happy with spotlight, good on ya. If you are looking for a way to speed up "Mail", speed up your searches for old mail, and keep your "Mail" database clean, then this program is excellent.

You are questioning why someone might want to archive their mail, so 'Yes', there you are missing something. The whistling sound between your ears might be a good hint as to what...
