Writing as a humble programmer, why don't you and Les write your own database application (using HTML, CSS, PHP and MariaDB (MySQL)) and store the important parts (or wholes) of emails in the database ? I do this. I can search on 'text', database entry descriptions, 6 keyword fields, entry date, overdue date etc. and can email out from within the database system which has menu lists of email addresses. I can have 1 million topics and each topic can have 99 items of separate correspondence. Each separate item can link to 9 web items or stored items (PDFs, ODT, pictures etc.) stored on the server. Data can be retrieved in less than 2 seconds. The inbuilt links produce lists of related items. The system links into other databases (Names/addresses/emails/telephone numbers, information storage etc. etc.) Why keep masses and masses of irrelevant data in an unstructured format presided over by Google? Its not logical sense. Essentially, why store a lot of "rubbish" that will never ever be needed ? Happy Weekend. -- Regards, Paul. England, EU.
