Still only 51 messages per second

Interesting. You're now up to 554 messages per second, still more 
than 3 times slower than Eudora's 1679 messages per second. It would 
be interesting to check how long this caching lasts. Does the speed 
reduction remain after quitting & restarting Entourage? Restarting 
the mac? Another couple of hours of using Entourage?

Must have an index on the from field. When is this generated? Is it 
as messages arrive (in which case why isn't this index checked when 
an advanced search is carried out?) or is it when the mail folder is 
opened? In which case, is there a speed hit when opening large 
mailboxes?

I found the searching within BBEdit very fast. Multi-file searching 
carries some overheads in accessing the disk and opening & closing 
files. It would be interesting to test this same file after opening 
it in BBEdit.
