Try using Spotlight typing "kind:email" before your search term. It
limits the search to mail messages. Very fast!

The monolithic database is going to be more of a problem with
Leopard's "Time Machine". Will TM back up the entire database every
time a new mail message arrives? Yuk! That will eat up your backup
disk real fast. I think, to cohabit well with Leopard, Entourage will
have to switch to storing messages as separate files, or else there
will have to be some means by which individual items within the
database can be transferred to a backup copy.

Of course, things like FileMaker databases will suffer the same
problem. Time Machine is slick but it poses some interesting problems
for database-based applications.

Which probably aint likely to be any time soon.

I like everything about Entourage Mail except the huge "let's store
everything in one huge database" which scares me, even with backups.
Too easy for something to go wrong.

I do wish that searching for *content* in Ent:Mail was easier w/o
having to resort to a global Spotlight search.
