I will say that, on the one hand, if the performance improvements are
significant, and allow good performance with much larger databases, I will
doubtless archive less frequently than I used to.
However, I will still archive. FileMaker (the database engine behind
eMessage Archiver, and also the archiving scripts that originated with
Emailer by this same Dan Crevier) has search abilities that are still
lacking in Entourage, such as the ability to combine AND and OR and NOT type
searches--e.g. ("From" is "Jones" OR "From" is "Smith) AND "Sent Date" is
less than "9/1/01" AND NOT "Subject" contains "digest". Maybe there is a way
to do that specific example in Entourage, but I know I've run into the
limitation of using either "All criteria" "Any criteria". Plus, it keeps
the main Entourage database size down, which speeds daily backups.
