Once upon a time I created a custom view in Entourage v.X to combine my
various Inboxes. Unfortunately, the Location of a custom view containing
messages can only be set to "All Folders" or "This Folder", so I had to use
the following for the custom view:

Item Types: Messages
Location: All Folders
Criteria:    (Match if any criteria are met)
  Folder     Is     Inbox
  Folder     is     INBOX (IMAP Account 1)
  Folder     is     INBOX (IMAP Account 2)
  ... Etc

This however, turned out to be awfully slow (over 30 seconds for a 300MB
database). Of course the cause of the slowness is the Location being set to
All Folders. It's admirable that Entourage was able to search through my all
300MB worth of database and track down all the messages by the folder they
were stored in. Unfortunately, it is just too slow to actually use.

I suggested at the time, that a third option, "These Folders" be added to
the Custom View window, allowing the selection of multiple, specific folders
to search. One of the members of the development team replying (privately, I
believe and, I apologize, I don't remember who it was) that he experienced
the same frustration as he was doing the same thing and that the suggestion
would be considered for a future release.

And *finally* my question... Has this (or another way to aggregate multiple
Inboxes) been added to Entourage 2004?
