In a quick check, I have email folders with up to 28,000 messages; up to 15,000 is more typical. In my online email archive altogether, I have just shy of 1 million messages in 713 'folders'. Via: grep '^From:' `find * -type f|egrep -v '[.]cache|[.]log|[.]index'`|wc Thunderbird + Dovecot provides nearly instant access to any email in any folder. Even Squirrelmail works fine. > > I stopped using procmail a while back - I like imapfilter. The config file is > just lua code. It does require an active connection > to your imap server of course.... Sounds interesting. Instead of new automatic filters, I use a Thunderbird plugin that allows me to file messages in 20 folders with just a keystroke. I can process messages as fast as 3 per second. Will eventually add machine learning to that. > The real hassle for me these days is my spamassassin + amavis + clamd has > stopped working nearly as well as it used too.
