Besides being very slow in handling large folders, it crashed on me several times. I have many large mail folders with over 60,000 messages that thunderbird handles just fine. I am able to do server side searches with no problem on the large folders. I've never found another mail client that reasonably handles this and it's reasonably fast too. No, I don't keep local indexes for those folders. Nataraj
